Luxury, comfort, sustainability: an edition that reaches 1000 brands including boats and projects on display, this year took place from 16 to 21 September. The Genoa exhibition recorded over 92 thousand visitors, the number 30% higher than in 2020.
Known as the reference point of pleasure boating for the international market, developer of over 200 thousand square meters of open spaces between land and water, this event brought many interesting exhibitors and gave space to the manifestation of the most innovative technologies in the field of shipbuilding. What is even more encouraging and stimulating is that environmental sustainability and the protection of biodiversity were the topics at the center of the workshops that completed the program of events at the 61st Boat Show.
Given the REFIBER mission,, the purpose of our visit was to understand the state of the art and the readiness of the sector to address environmental issues and to know the technological and scientific trendsetters in the construction of boats. Moreover, apart from addressing the key operational features such as the eco-design, the construction of boats, the raw materials used and an overall responsibility in boating, we also opened a dialogue with the most relevant bodies on the environmental protection improvements. All this with one goal: to improve circularity and commit to sustainable manufacturing in the marine industry.
