Iran will set up a pavilion later this month at German Maritime Trade Fair of SMM in Hamburg, a leading international maritime trade exhibition, revealed the Technological Exchange and International Affairs Department at the Presidential Office.

The Iranian delegation, which will include 50 experts from 22 maritime companies and organisations, will attend the fair to take advantage of developing collaborative technological and industrial ties with foreign companies at the fair, said the Iran Daily News report, citing Shana.

The leading international maritime trade fair will host more than 50,000 visitors and 2,100 participants from 67 countries and provide a forum for building new relationships and getting acquainted with other participants, it said.

The event, which is to be held from September 6 to 9, will highlight Green Propulsion — alternative, low-emission propulsion technologies such as LNG, methanol, hybrid and dual-fuel — and fuel cell systems, along with big data and digitalisation.

It will set the stage for establishing new international business contacts and provide opportunities for participants to become acquainted with Iranian companies and potential customers, added the report.
