Poseable: the first event dedicated to decarbonizing the maritime sector
On May 13 in Nantes, PoSEAble—the first national event dedicated to the decarbonization of maritime activities—will take place. This groundbreaking event aims to foster dialogue, break down silos, and collectively reflect on the challenges and opportunities for a more sustainable maritime future, particularly in maritime transport. Recognized nationwide, this event is aimed at all stakeholders and experts in the sector: researchers, industry representatives, professional networks, institutions, and students.
A Day to Rethink Decarbonization in the Maritime Sector
Throughout the day, the program will feature plenary sessions, future-oriented workshops, networking, and B2B meetings. Co-organized by the Nantes Saint-Nazaire Développement agency and the Pôle Mer Bretagne Atlantique, in partnership with Nantes Métropole and the Nantes St-Nazaire Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCI), the PoSEAble event is supported by all stakeholders involved in the maritime sector’s transitions: Nantes University, EDF, Crédit Maritime, the Pays de la Loire Region, St-Nazaire Agglo, Nantes Saint-Nazaire Port, Neopolia, MEET2050, Weamec, Centrale Nantes, Isemar, and CEA.
The event is expected to draw between 200 and 250 participants from the maritime sector as well as related industries.
“Maritime transport, at the crossroads of environmental and economic issues, must transform itself to address climate and societal challenges. “This new PoSEAble event will bring together and unite all stakeholders to envision and build a carbon-free maritime future,” emphasizes Johanna Rolland, mayor of Nantes and president of Nantes Métropole.
