B2BEYOND

Northern – Southern Seas Shipbuilding and Ports

November 12th, 2026

Palazzo Metelino, Genova

via Marino Boccanegra, 17

B2BEYOND Italy | Nordic Countries is an exclusive, high-level B2B event co-organised with the Istituto Affari Internazionali (IAI) and the Propeller Club of Genova, which will host the closing gala dinner, with the participation of the Italian MFA and the Nordic Embassies in Italy. B2BEYOND is not a conference. It is a structured, curated forum bringing together Italian and Nordic companies for business presentations, thematic workshops and targeted networking sessions. The areas of interest cover Shipbuilding, Shipyards, Digital Ports, Underwater technologies and Innovation — designed not to bring together companies doing the same things, but to open new connections, joint ventures and synergies between complementary industries.

Founded in 2018, Osservatorio Artico brings together a network of over 25 experts, journalists, researchers and analysts across Europe. Since 2019, we have served as the official Media Partner of the Italian Navy for the “High North” Programme, which conducts annual scientific and hydrographic campaigns across the Svalbard Islands, Greenland and the North Pole. We work in close collaboration with the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, the CNR and a wide range of institutional and private sector partners.
