In the first regional ocean conference of the Ireland Portugal Business Network (IPBN) to take place in Porto, tomorrow, at the EDP Auditorium of the Porto Business School, we will show the advances and the lead the Port City of Matosinhos is taking in the Maritime world and the synergies and potential of greater partnerships that exist with Ireland.

Ocean Conference: what to expect

• highlight the latest development of knowledge and innovation related to the Ocean and Marine sciences with the CiiMAR, an interdisciplinary center for marine & environmental research, based in Matosinhos;
• show the synergies which exist between Portugal and Ireland in enabling the successful harnessing of offshore wind energy and how we can develop partnerships between the two countries, which we, the IPBN, will be pushing for;
• highlight the position and aspiration of the Ports of Leixões, Viana do Castelo and the Douro Navigable Route in the overall Maritime Transportation industry in Portugal and in the EU and Global competition.

Join us tomorrow to take action to Save the Ocean and create a sustainable blue economy.
