German–Swedish Maritime Forum

German–Swedish Maritime Forum

About this event

Geopolitical tensions, security challenges and shifting trade flows have made close dialogue between business, politics and the port industry more essential than ever. This is precisely why Stena Line, the PORT OF KIEL the Port of Gothenburg and Port of Hamburg Marketing cordially invite you to join us at the German-Swedish Maritime Forum 2026 to discuss resilient supply chains and the future of European port locations.

Look forward to inspiring contributions and valuable exchanges with leading representatives from Germany and Sweden. At the heart of the forum lies the question of how resilient supply chains and high-performing ports can strengthen Europe's competitiveness and what opportunities this holds for German-Swedish cooperation. The programme will be shaped by keynote addresses from Ninni Löwgren-Tischer (German-Swedish Chamber of Commerce) and Johan Holmlund (Business Sweden), complemented by a fireside chat with industry representatives and a panel discussion with the heads of the four host organisations, exploring the future of maritime corridors and shared strategies for a navigating a rapidly changing global trade environment.

A networking lunch, an exclusive tour of the Stena Scandinavica and a maritime afterwork reception offer further opportunities to forge new connections and deepen existing partnerships.
