MARI.NA 2005 "The International Technology Transfer Day in Maritime and Navigation field"

The IRCs MEDIA and CIRCE are organising "The International Technology Transfer Day in Maritime and Navigation field" in collaboration with the other Italian IRCs.

30 September 2005
 
It will be held in Palermo on 30th September 2005 within "The 1st International Forum for Technologies in Maritime and Navigation field", a four days event from 29th September to 2nd October 2005 hosted by Camera di Commercio Industria Artigianato e Agricoltura di Palermo.
Today the increasing interest in tourism and the cooperation policies between the different Mediterranean countries together with the commercial exchanges are the principal factors to promote a process of integration and development. The nautical sector is a growing sector in Sicily and this year many events will be held in October. Palermo will host the forum about the tourism of Mediterranean Islands organized by INSULEUR the network of Insular Chambers of Commerce and Industry of EU, in parallel Trapani (120 km from Palermo) will host the Louis Vuitton Cup as part of America's cup.
The MARI.NA 2005 Technological Transfer Day is going to be organised in this context.
A transnational event focused on a very broad technological sector can be an opportunity for companies, universities and research centres to meet each other and to exchange innovative solutions.
In order to better focus the event, the technologies involved for the nautical sector and for the nautical tourism in the Mediterranean will be:
Industrial manufacturing, material and transport technologies ,Electronics, IT and telecommunications ,Transport and shipping technology ,Construction technology ,Environment (environmental engineering/technology, remote sensing technology, water pollution/treatment) ,Shipbuilding ,Design and interiors design ,Tourism ,Material and transport technologies
The T.T.D. aims at matching technology profiles promoted by European companies and research centres in order to facilitate technology transfer agreements in the following sectors:
Transports ,Materials Technology ,Information Communication ,Environment ,Technology Sports and leisure , ,The event will bring together suppliers and users of technology and know-how from all over Europe to discuss solutions and new opportunities for the future. Its aim is to initiate collaborations, to promote the transfer of know-how and the industrial application of the scientific results in the maritime and navigation field.
For this purpose, participants will have the opportunity to present technology offers or technology requests in a catalogue. Bilateral meetings will then be pre-scheduled, according to individual delegate interests, between seekers and providers of technology. Meetings will be a 1-day collateral session to "The 1st International Forum in Maritime and Navigation field."
