The sea as a place for research and business
Blue Planet Economy Expoforum explores the marine economy through technology, resources and connections between companies, research centres and institutions. The 2026 edition takes place at Fiera Roma on 21–24 October. On the checking date, 21 October, it is beginning: only the remaining days of this edition are relevant to an immediate visit.

The forum suits people interested in practical marine questions. It offers a chance to understand what researchers and businesses propose, which skills the sector needs and where their problems overlap. Scientific sessions and professional exchanges can be useful for specialists, students and visitors considering a career in this field.
Build a focused visit
The organiser invites visitors to join the scientific programme, meet businesses and research institutions and discover Blue Economy innovations. A presentation can become the starting point for a conversation about a particular project. Check the themes and participants in this edition’s programme before choosing your day.
Our editorial suggestion is to arrive with one question: perhaps about a technology, research community or professional direction. Select suitable meetings and leave time for the exhibition. Confirm registration and meeting arrangements directly with the organiser or participant.
