Event Objective
The showcase brings together shipping companies, maritime training institutions, navies, port authorities and operators, and other key stakeholders to explore the latest developments in Dutch-designed maritime simulation technology. Participants will gain insight into how modern simulation solutions can strengthen navigational competence, enhance defense readiness, and accelerate the development of green skills across the maritime sector.
What the Event Will Deliver?

Demonstrations of next-generation NAUTIS simulation systems for navigation, inland waterways, defense operations, and sustainability-focused training.
Practical examples of how simulation can improve safety, operational efficiency, and environmental performance.
Guidance for institutions and private companies on integrating simulation into curricula, competency frameworks, and onboard training programs.
*Discussions on how simulation supports IMO standards, energy-efficient operations, and future-ready maritime workforce development.
*Networking opportunities with Dutch experts, industry leaders, and decision‑makers shaping the future of maritime training.
