Opening the doors of the Rising Stars Pavilion
The anticipated Europort week promises a blend of networking, innovation, and recognition, all encapsulated within the dynamic atmosphere of the Rising Stars Pavilion. At least that’s what MARPRO will try to achieve with the Rising Stars Pavilion in the upcoming exhibition week.
The anticipation is palpable as the inaugural day of the Rising Stars Exhibition unfolds, inviting visitors into an open space of innovation. The Rising Stars Pavilions stand as a testament to the cutting-edge ideas and ventures that promise to shape the future of the maritime industry.
MARPRO is the company behind the Rising Stars Pavilion, and as the doors to the exhibition swing open, MARPRO welcomes attendees to a week that not only showcases groundbreaking projects but also guarantees insightful discussions, dynamic pitches, and an awards ceremony honouring the brightest stars among them.
At the pavilion, the Rising Stars can invite you for a chat at the Lounge Area, a space designed to foster meaningful connections between visitors and the Rising Stars themselves.
Here are the 21 Rising Stars you can find in the pavilion. (Link)
The Rising Stars pitch on the Smart Stage and Green stage
The week is packed with plenty of relevant activities. One of the highlights of the week is the series of 15-minute pitches on both the Smart Stage and Green Stage. These stages will serve as platforms for the Rising Stars to articulate their visions, share their journeys, and demonstrate the unique value propositions that set them apart.
The Smart Stage promises insights into the latest advancements that are reshaping traditional methods, while the Green Stage showcases environmentally conscious startups dedicated to making a positive impact on the planet.
