MaDaMe Showcased at European Maritime Day 2026 in Limassol

The MaDaMe Project was represented well at European Maritime Day (EMD), held on 21–22 May in sunny and beautiful Limassol, by Ahmed Elhadi (Novia University of Applied Sciences) and Jessica Wright (Turku University of Applied Sciences). The event hosted around 1,000 participants this year, including policy makers, researchers, maritime industry leaders, suppliers, seafarers, NGOs, and even school children.

The MaDaMe project shared an exhibition booth with ORMOBASS project, represented by German Aerospace Center’s Niklas Hehenkamp.

At our stand, visitors explored the project through short presentations, demonstration videos, and interactive displays showcasing digital Navigational Warnings (S-124), Aids to Navigation (S-125) and VTS Traffic Clearance Services (S-212). The demonstrations sparked strong interest, and discussions with attendees were lively and engaging throughout the day. To encourage conversation, we also offered Fazer chocolates, which proved to be a popular addition.

We also used this opportunity to invite participants to join our Final Seminar on 30 September.

Overall, EMD 2026 provided an excellent platform for connecting with maritime stakeholders across Europe, exchanging knowledge, and presenting the progress of MaDaMe and related initiatives.
