SEAQUIP continues to grow, with the first edition taking place in Milan from 4 to 6 March 2026: 140 exhibitors, 13 supporters and a visitor campaign active for the past few weeks that has already signed up over 1,500 qualified professionals. The number of meetings, forums and conferences is now being finalised.
“The immediate results of the visitor campaign, which involved highly qualified professionals right from the outset, taken together with the participation of leading international players as exhibitors and the growing number of shipyards contributing to the event as official supporters – including Baglietto and Lusben – confirms the enthusiasm shown by the industry for SEAQUIP,” commented Pier Paolo Ponchia, Managing Director at Easyfairs Italia. “In parallel with this, the network of sponsorships and partnerships continues to expand, with growing interest also reported at international level. This dynamic is confirmed by the recent sponsorship deal signed with CNA Nautica”.
The SEAQUIP team is also organising the programme of high-powered events and forums. The panel discussions scheduled so far are:
- “The frontiers of decarbonisation in yachting,” managed by RINA. Participants include Volvo Penta, Vulkan, Man and Mtu;
- “Finishing and environmental challenges in offshore construction,” managed by UCIF | ANIMA – Confindustria Meccanica. Participants include Savim Europe, Kenosistec, Geico, Verind, Fismet Service and POLIEFUN;
- “Additive production bursts onto the yachting scene,” including participation from Superfici S.c.r.l. (with Paolo Licinio Nazzaro, Co-Founder & Managing Director), 3ntr (with Ilaria Ardizzoia, Founder and CFO), AOC TBC (with Edwin Hendriks, Technical Service Manager/R&D), DYD YACHT DESIGN & CONSULTING (with Franco Gnessi, Yacht designer), Physis PEB – Politecnico di Milano (with Gabriele Defendini) and, finally, Fabio Bignolini, Co-founder & CEO, who will act as moderator;
- “Regeneration of carbon fibre composites: the challenge of the Herambiente FIB3R plant for a circular yachting supply chain,” organised by Herambiente and involving FIB3R, the Sanlorenzo Yacht shipyard, the University of Bologna, Angeloni Group and Carbon Task.
Soon after the presentation of this ideal platform for initiating meetings and new collaborations between shipyards and suppliers, one that focuses exclusively on innovation, quality and business, SEAQUIP obtained the sponsorship of the Italian Trade Agency (ITA), Assonautica and UCIF – ANIMA Confindustria Meccanica, and chose as brand Ambassador Paola Caccavallo, who has many years’ experience in the industry.
