The international workboat sector will soon gather in Porto as MTB Events hosts this year’s edition of MTB Workboats. Bringing together key businesses from across the industry, the event promises a dynamic program designed to inspire collaboration, highlight emerging opportunities, and shine a spotlight on the innovation shaping the future of maritime operations.
Central to MTB’s renowned ‘Meet the Buyer’ format is the dedication to building purposeful business relationships. Over two concentrated days, delegates engage in at least 15 one-to-one meetings, curated by the MTB team to maximise relevance and outcomes. Complementing these structured meetings is a mix of networking opportunities, from casual conversations over shared dining to dedicated product showcases and relaxed evening functions, all thoughtfully created to promote dialogue and forge enduring partnerships.
MTB Workboats serves as a meeting point for an influential community of leaders and experts, connecting Fleet Managers, Technical Purchasing Managers, and Senior Buyers from across the workboat industry. Alongside them, a global list of suppliers will be representing all areas of the sector and ensuring a vibrant setting where collaboration develops, and new business opportunities take shape.
Set in the historic port city of Porto, MTB Workboats offers a backdrop rich in character and perfectly suited for meaningful business exchange. As one of Europe’s key coastal hubs, Porto provides an inspiring backdrop for building new connections and reinforcing established partnerships. Its mix of tradition and modern ambition makes it an ideal location for an event dedicated to progress and collaboration within the workboat sector.
Beyond the scheduled meetings, the social programme creates space for delegates to connect in a more informal setting. Proceedings open with a welcome dinner, setting a friendly tone for the days to follow. On the second evening, guests will enjoy an unforgettable perspective of the Douro River from a historic venue, while the closing gala dinner brings everyone together for a chance to reflect on insights shared, recognise new collaborations, and conclude the event on a high note.
For those unable to join us in Porto, there are still opportunities ahead. Reach out to the MTB Events team to discover how you can be part of our upcoming Marine events and ensure your place at future editions of MTB Workboats.
