At the centre of maritime innovation’s next wave
Advanced Maritime Technology enters a new era in Barcelona
After a decade in Amsterdam, Advanced Maritime Technology moves to Barcelona, placing the event at the heart of one of the world’s most dynamic and fast‑growing blue economy ecosystems.
With direct access to a leading international port, significant investment in maritime innovation, and deep collaboration across industry, research, and government, Barcelona provides a uniquely connected environment where ideas translate into deployed technologies and scalable solutions.
Taking place June 16–17, 2027, the event brings together solution providers, technology leaders, investors, and end users from across the global maritime sector, creating a platform designed not just to showcase innovation, but to accelerate it.
This is where emerging technologies meet industry demand, where partnerships take shape, and where the future of sustainable, high‑performance maritime operations is defined.
A purpose‑built platform for industry engagement
Built to reflect the priorities of a rapidly evolving sector, the event delivers an expanded and more focused program, spotlighting the critical enablers of progress, from infrastructure and regulation to investment and commercial deployment.
Content and conversation are shaped around practical pathways to adoption, with a clear emphasis on technologies that can scale, integrate, and deliver measurable impact across maritime operations.
Bringing together the full spectrum of the smart‑ship value chain, Advanced Maritime Technology creates a highly focused environment where solution providers connect with decision‑makers, buyers engage with proven technologies, and the industry comes together to move projects forward.
Join us in Barcelona, June 16–17, 2027, to connect with the partners, insights, and opportunities driving the next phase of maritime innovation.

Four pillars of an evolving maritime landscape
Electrification & hybridization
As vessels increase in size and operational demand, this stream focuses on the next generation of propulsion technologies. It explores advances in batteries, fuel cells, onboard power distribution, alternative fuels, and new hull and propulsion system designs that enable cleaner, more efficient operation. Positioned as the evolution of the core Electric & Hybrid Marine program, this stream is tailored for shipyards, system integrators, and technology suppliers seeking deep technical insight and real‑world engineering applications.
Autonomy & automation
Reflecting the industry’s shift from long‑term MASS ambitions to practical, deployable solutions, this stream examines the wider automation landscape: remote operation, shore control, AI‑driven decision support, cybersecurity, and data‑led maintenance strategies. It provides a clear view of how automation can deliver measurable operational efficiencies today. Built from the Autonomous Ship conference’s strongest foundations, it speaks directly to shipowners and operators, technology suppliers, integrators, and research organisations shaping near‑term digital transformation.
Infrastructure
As ports adapt to electrification and alternative fuels, this stream addresses the systems and planning required to build resilient future‑ready infrastructure. Topics include port‑side and offshore charging, grid capacity planning, demand management, and the development of alternative‑fuel bunkering networks. Originating from what was once a single, oversubscribed session, this new stream meets growing demand from port authorities, terminal operators, utilities, grid operators, and local government stakeholders who are driving the shore‑side energy transition.
Regulation, business & finance
With regulatory deadlines approaching and investment complexity increasing, this stream provides strategic clarity for decision-makers navigating compliance, transition planning, and funding pathways. Discussions cover upcoming IMO and regional regulations, liability considerations, project finance, grants, and long‑term business risk and opportunity. Created to deliver the depth previously missing from technical conferences, this stream is designed for C‑suite leaders, shipowners, financiers, classification societies, and regulators steering organisational strategy.
A global hub of expertise
Advanced Maritime Technology brings together the full breadth of stakeholders shaping the future of maritime innovation, delivering unparalleled access to technical insight, strategic guidance, and real‑world operational expertise. With four deeply focused conference streams, reflected in the technologies across the expo floor, expanded discussion formats, and a programme built directly around industry needs, the 2026 event provides professionals with the clarity, context, and connections required to navigate a rapidly shifting landscape.
A defined business case
For innovators, integrators, service providers, and emerging technology companies, Advanced Maritime Technology offers a uniquely targeted platform to meet decision‑makers actively driving fleet transformation, digitalization, infrastructure development, and regulatory compliance. Whether you are exploring new technologies or bringing them to market, Advanced Maritime Technology provides the visibility, engagement, and commercial opportunity to build partnerships and accelerate growth.
Words from the expo floor
-
“This is RoyPow’s second time at AMT, and it’s proven to be a highly professional event for the marina industry. It’s the perfect place to connect with key clients and showcase innovations like our new sodium batteries to a focused engineering audience. We’re excited to build on this momentum—see you in Barcelona in 2027.”
-
“This is our second time at AMT, and we’ve seen real growth, not just in traffic, but in the ecosystem, with new players and strong partnership opportunities. The conversations are high quality, well-informed, focused, and genuinely valuable. It’s not about quantity, it’s about quality. Combine that with great content and a strong atmosphere, and it’s been a fantastic experience. We’re already looking ahead to Barcelona in 2027.”
-
“AMT has been an outstanding platform for us, especially as the launchpad for our powertrain platform. It’s given us strong visibility and, more importantly, direct engagement with key industry players, including shipyards, partners, and component suppliers. Those conversations are critical, as building a complete powertrain solution depends on the right ecosystem of collaborators. The audience here is highly relevant and knowledgeable, which makes every interaction meaningful. It’s a specialized event that really delivers for us, and we’re excited to build on this momentum, see you in Barcelona in 2027.”
-
“AMT is a highly focused show with a great vibe. Bringing together battery makers and system integrators in one place, it means every conversation counts. We attended as delegates last year and saw real value, so stepping up as exhibitors this year was a natural next move. The quality of like-minded companies and targeted engagement makes it a standout event.”
-
“It was an easy decision to exhibit this year, and it’s been a great experience so far. There’s a strong mix of companies working in similar spaces, and the visitors on the floor have shown genuine interest in what we’re doing.
