Caring about start-ups
It’s no secret that the maritime industry is in a state of constant change, and to keep up with the pace it sometimes calls for trailblazing collaborations.
To promote and foster the constant change in the maritime industry, the MARPRO Group, an acclaimed global recruitment specialist in shipping and maritime, is proud to, for the consecutive year, join forces with Europort and provide the Rising Stars platform to support the maritime industry leaders of tomorrow by giving them a fair chance to join the conversation today.
The first edition of the Rising Stars took place back in Europort 2021 and was a resounding success – one we are looking to replicate in the second edition.
Jakob le Fevre, Managing Director of MARPRO says: “I have started several companies in the maritime industry. It is always hard to start-up a new company, but the global aspect of the maritime industry makes it even more challenging. I would have loved this concept when I started up in the past – so this is our way to give back to the community we are a part of.”

Arnd Baurichter, CEO Dacoma, Rising Star 2021
“We a had a really great show here in Europort 2021 in the Rising Stars Pavilion. The Rising Stars Pavilion gave us some extra visibility because many people stopped by, looking at what kind of innovations there were. This provided us with a very good and very busy trade show. We had a lot of good discussion here at our booth. And another good thing about the pavilion is that we could also network with the other start-ups who were represented in the Rising Stars Pavilion.”
Simon Burhorst, CEO Mesh, Rising Star 2021
“For us being a Rising Star was very nice because it was the first exhibition meeting people live and face to face, we are very proud and very happy to be here. We made a lot of new friends, new contacts, new partnerships, so thank you MARPRO for this opportunity. It was very nice to be here.”
Jesper Rhode Andersen, Bord Member and Business Development, Mi wire, Rising Star 2021

“Being a Rising Star was an enormous success. We were inspired by the visitors and the colleagues because of some great new ideas. We also acquired a couple of new clients. Many thanks to MARPRO for this opportunity, we are looking forward to continuing this cooperation in the upcoming event.”
“We have been part of the Rising Stars Pavilion in Europort 2021 and it was really great for us to be here. We have been meeting a lot of potential customers, partners and other stakeholders that we normally would not be able to meet. It has also been great to be part together with all the other companies in this pavilion. They are all in the same journey as we are, so it has been really beneficial for us to be here this week.”
“We at Seamaster are very happy to be in the Europort exhibition. We had a lot of interest for our innovative search light. We are going to make some contracts for some distributors from countries like Italy and Belgium and Holland. Yesterday we had a direct buyer here, who actually cancelled the order from a shipyard while he was here for a competitive searchlight. So we are very optimistic for the future thanks to attending this Rising Star pavilion.”
