From 19 to 22 March 2026, Nice will host Nice Boating Tomorrow, the first international boat show entirely dedicated to sustainable boating.
Organised by Grand Pavois Organisation on Quai Amiral Infernet and at the OcéaNice convention centre, the event will bring together the leading players in the maritime sector around the challenges of innovation, ecological transition and new forms of maritime mobility.
For the first time in France and in Europe, an event of this scale is placing sustainability at the heart of its positioning.
As an institutional partner of the event, Team Nice Côte d’Azur will be present at stand A30 alongside the Nice Côte d’Azur Metropolis, risingSud, Pôle Mer Méditerranée, French Tech Côte d’Azur, Riviera Yachting Network and Ports d’Azur.
This shared stand reflects the coordinated commitment of the local area to the development of the Riviera’s blue economy and serves as a point of entry for companies, project leaders and investors wishing to explore the opportunities offered by the Nice Côte d’Azur area.
On Friday 20 March at 10 a.m., we are organising a roundtable dedicated to the opportunities of the Riviera’s blue economy, with the participation of Ports d’Azur, the Nice Côte d’Azur Metropolis, French Tech Côte d’Azur and Riviera Yachting Network, moderated by Hervé Laubertie. A networking cocktail will follow at 11 a.m. 👉 To register for the roundtable: https://forms.gle/MLTmVwuv4vd1jNGS9
This mobilisation is built on solid foundations. According to the “Croissance bleue 06” study published by the Nice Côte d’Azur CCI, the maritime sector in the Alpes-Maritimes brings together 2,120 establishments and 5,000 jobs, for an estimated turnover of €1.2 billion. It is structured around eight economic segments ranging from yachting and port activities to shipbuilding, marine resources and Blue Tech technologies. It is a structured ecosystem that is now undergoing rapid transformation driven by environmental and technological challenges.
The region is supporting this shift through targeted schemes, including the Blue Innovation Challenge, a programme dedicated to the emergence of innovative solutions in decarbonised maritime mobility, sustainable resource management and the preservation of marine ecosystems.
Team Nice Côte d’Azur’s presence at Nice Boating Tomorrow fully aligns with its mission: to attract investment and support companies in setting up operations in the area.
Stefano Cimmarusti, Head of Project Development, Cleantech & Industries at Team Nice Côte d’Azur, will be present throughout the event at stand A30 to meet with companies and project leaders wishing to set up or expand their activities in the area.
