Seaquip launches its Advisory Board, a new strategic platform bringing together key industry players to guide the development of the B2B exhibition dedicated to marine components.
Seaquip is strengthening its position within the nautical industry with the launch of its Advisory Board, a new strategic structure bringing together professionals from leading shipyards across both the sailing and motor yacht segments. This marks a strong signal of direct engagement from key players in the supply chain, who are choosing to actively contribute to the development of the exhibition.
The Board has been established with the aim of supporting the Seaquip team in defining the strategic direction and content of the next edition of the show, scheduled for March 2027, with a focus on the evolution of marine components and the development of increasingly effective services for the industry. The first meeting took place on 24 June at Triennale Milano, moderated by journalist Fabio Petrone, marking the start of a structured dialogue on the key needs of the supply chain and the sector’s development trajectories. The participation and active contribution of members immediately highlighted both the value of the initiative and a shared commitment to building a long-term pathway.
The Advisory Board is therefore positioned as an ongoing platform for dialogue, designed to capture emerging needs and trends, foster the exchange of expertise, and actively guide the evolution of the Seaquip platform. Activities will continue through dedicated discussion sessions, both throughout 2027 and with a long-term perspective.
During the first meeting, several key priorities for the sector emerged, including digitalisation, innovation, investment sustainability, safety, vessel light-weighting, and the development of smart yachting. Significant attention was also given to regulatory developments and to cross-industry dialogue, drawing on expertise and models from other sectors that may provide valuable insights for the future of the nautical industry.
“I am very proud of the response from professionals across the nautical sector, confirming the growing interest Seaquip is generating,” commented Pier Paolo Ponchia, Managing Director of Easyfairs Italy. “The participation of leading shipyards, from both the sailing and motor segments, is an important recognition and reflects a clear willingness to actively contribute to the growth of the exhibition and the entire supply chain.”
