INDUSTRY SPOTLIGHT: MARITIME & LOGISTICS 

The Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region stands as a powerhouse in the Maritime & Logistics sector, fueled by its strategic Mediterranean location and cutting-edge infrastructure. 

At the heart of this ecosystem is the Port of Marseille-Fos, France’s largest port and a critical gateway for international trade. With nearly 10,000 ships docking each year and 79 million tons of goods handled annually, the port serves 800 customers and is actively expanding across 10,400 hectares through an innovative development process.

Marseille Provence is leading the future of logistics, spearheading digitalization, sustainability, and efficiency through groundbreaking initiatives like the French Smart Port in the Mediterranean. The region is home to a thriving network of maritime technology companies, research centers, and logistics hubs, making it a prime destination for businesses seeking to innovate and expand in global shipping, freight, and supply chain management.

Businesses attending the GBF can gain access to cutting-edge research, forge strategic partnerships with industry leaders, and position themselves in one of Europe’s most dynamic maritime and logistics ecosystems.
