NICE BOATING TOMORROW

NICE BOATING TOMORROW, THE NEW INTERNATIONAL EVENT DEDICATED 100%TO ECO-RESPONSIBLE BOATING

NICE BOATING TOMORROW: TRANSFORMING NICE INTO THE FUTURE INTERNATIONAL CAPITAL OF SUSTAINABLE BOATING

In response to the climatic, environmental, and economic challenges facing the maritime sector, the establishment of NICE BOATING TOMORROW by Grand Pavois Organisation (GPO) represents a strategic necessity. This international event dedicated to sustainable boating will feature an exhibition, a forum with conferences and a
public space.
Situated at a natural crossroads between the Mediterranean, Europe, and the global community, Nice has all the attributes to become the international reference for responsible boating: a well-structured maritime ecosystem, a strong nautical tradition, a recognized commitment to ecological transition, and a unique international appeal.

A SECTOR IN PROFOUND TRANSFORMATION

The boating industry is undergoing significant transformation: ship decarbonization, technological innovations, new maritime mobility options, ecosystem preservation, sustainable marinas, and responsible tourism. These changes demand spaces for exchange, demonstration, and international cooperation, bringing together professionals, startups, territories, scientists, institutions, investors, and users.
NICE BOATING TOMORROW, an international sustainable boating exhibition and forum in
Nice, will facilitate this dialogue, accelerate innovation, and promote the emergence of global
common standards.

A STRUCTURING AND UNIFYING EVENT

Designed as an annual rendezvous, the event aims to:

*Showcase concrete solutions in sustainable boating (clean propulsion, innovative materials, smart services, sustainable marinas).
*Host a high-level international forum bringing together experts, public and private decision-makers.
*Create an economic platform fostering partnerships, investments and exports.
*Raise public awareness of environmental issues and the future of boating practices.

NICE, A STRONG SIGNAL TO THE WORLD AND THE MEDITERRANEAN

By hosting such an event, Nice sends a clear signal: that of a city choosing to be an active player and driver of maritime transition, serving the Mediterranean and future generations.
Beyond a mere professional gathering, it will serve as a tool for influence, visibility, and international leadership.

Creating NICE BOATING TOMORROW, an international sustainable boating exhibition and forum, embodies the choice of responsible innovation, international dialogue, and a forward- looking vision for the maritime economy.
