Home / The Fair
A technology and business cluster for the Blue Economy
The exhibition side of Blue Nautical Hub Brasil 2027 is a platform for technology, products, supplies and services spanning the sector's four pillars: industry, trade, services and nautical tourism.
Vision
The leading professional Blue Economy fair in the South Atlantic
An annual meeting point where industry, trade, services and nautical tourism across shipbuilding, fishing, nautical and defence do business, present solutions and design the future of the sector.
The focus is on decision-makers, technical buyers, suppliers, distributors and strategic partners. Concentrating value around those who decide, buy and specify technology is the principle behind the world's benchmark B2B fairs — and it is ours.
Exhibition sectors
What is on display
The exhibition area gathers products, technology, supplies, engines, accessories and services from the whole chain. Shipyards, marinas and operators take part presenting their technology, processes and services.

Accessories, deck and equipment
Every accessory for boats: hardware, rigging, winches, anchors, lighting, onboard comfort and technical components.
Fishing and aquaculture
Equipment, nets, supplies, mariculture technology, traceability and the seafood chain.
Maritime defence and security
Defence and dual-use technology, monitoring, coastal surveillance, rescue and safety.
Marinas and infrastructure
Pontoons and floating structures, marina and shipyard equipment and accessories, travel lifts, dredging and operating supplies.
Services, business and training

Special areas
Curated spaces inside the fair
Attraction anchors that set the fair apart and generate content, media and internationalisation.
Green & Blue Innovation Hub
A curated space for sustainability, decarbonisation, electrification and new Blue Economy technologies.
Start-up Arena
Special conditions for start-ups and emerging companies to present solutions to investors, shipyards and marinas, with pitches and demonstrations.
Sustainability Seal and Award
Recognition for exhibitors that place sustainability at the centre of their production processes, with an award ceremony during the event.
Content Arena
A stage inside the fair for quick panels, live interviews, launches and technical presentations, connected to the IV Symposium.
International Space and Delegations
An area dedicated to foreign delegations and exhibitors, supported by a bilateral B2B agenda.
B2B Business Lounge
Physical integration of the business rounds into the fair, so that curated negotiation happens inside the event.
Why exhibit
Five concrete reasons
Scale and business density
Dozens of exhibitors and hundreds of buyers in the same space, greatly increasing the volume of connections compared with B2B rounds alone.
A showcase for the supply chain
Present products, launches and solutions to decision-makers actively looking for innovation and new suppliers.
The right audience, not the biggest one
Qualified accreditation. None of the end-consumer noise: only those who decide, buy and specify.
International access
Foreign delegations, international buyers and the nautical diplomacy already under way with Europe and South America.
A week, not three days
Your brand also circulates through the symposium, the B2B rounds and the technical visits — far more exposure per investment.
