Nautical Info Days and Exchange Activities
22/12/2025
A series of Nautical Info Days and exchange activities were organized to support small and medium-sized enterprises operating in the nautical sector across the Adriatic area. The initiative aimed to strengthen the competitiveness and resilience of nautical businesses by providing practical knowledge, expert insights, and opportunities for cross-border exchange.
The Info Days focused on key challenges and opportunities faced by nautical SMEs, including digital transformation, access to finance, marketing strategies, and the integration of socially and environmentally responsible business practices. Through expert presentations and real-life case studies, participants gained a better understanding of how innovation and responsibility can be combined to create sustainable business models in nautical tourism and related services.
Particular attention was given to digital tools such as online booking systems, customer relationship management (CRM) platforms, and digital solutions that enhance accessibility and customer experience. In parallel, sessions dedicated to access to capital provided guidance on developing solid business and financial plans, identifying funding opportunities, and building partnerships aligned with sustainable growth objectives.
The exchange component of the activities enabled direct interaction among nautical professionals, experts, and stakeholders from different Adriatic regions. This peer-to-peer approach encouraged the sharing of experiences, successful practices, and lessons learned, while also fostering new professional connections and potential collaborations.
By combining knowledge transfer, dialogue, and networking, these Nautical Info Days and exchanges contributed to raising awareness of responsible innovation as a driver for long-term growth. The activities supported nautical SMEs in adapting to market changes, embracing sustainability, and strengthening their role within a more innovative and resilient Adriatic blue economy.
