The Hub
Five days. Four pillars. One ecosystem.
Blue Nautical Hub Brasil was created to connect the people who build the Blue Economy: industry, trade, services, tourism, technology, innovation, sustainability, education and the public sector — around the sea understood as an economic sector, not merely as leisure.
After two editions consolidating technical visits, the International Blue Economy Symposium and B2B business rounds, 2027 takes the project's most ambitious step: the trade fair. A permanent space where the entire supply chain meets, demonstrates and does business at the same time.
“The Hub was born to connect the people who build the Blue Economy.”
