In 2026, from 4 to 6 March, Milan will provide the prestigious backdrop for a new exhibition devised and organised by the Italian arm of Easyfairs Group, one of the world's top 20 trade fair organisers.

Called SEAQUIP, it will be the first B2B trade fair for marine components held in Milan. The event will bring together sector leaders to explore advanced technologies and facilitate networking between shipyards and suppliers, positioning itself as a strategic new platform for the European market.

SEAQUIP, held from 4 to 6 March 2026 at Fiera Milano Rho, will be a key international platform for the industry based in the strategic region of Italy, which is the world's leading producer of yachts and superyachts. SEAQUIP will therefore offer a unique opportunity for yachting professionals to meet, forge business relationships and discover the innovations that will determine the future of the industry.

SEAQUIP not only offers a new way for the industry's supply chain to meet buyers and showcase their innovations, but also aims to add value to a strategic period of the year for the market - early spring - encouraging maximum attendance and interest from international operators. The official launch of SEAQUIP, almost a year and a half ahead of the first event, also gets the promotional campaign under way, with the aim of involving exhibitors and visitors from around the world in the creation of a new benchmark for the B2B yachting industry in the Mediterranean.

The trade fair will be complemented by a packed conference programme with a focus on new technologies, including developments in artificial intelligence, alternative propulsion systems and innovative materials. With formal support provided by the organisers, the main shipyards will have a physical presence at the event, creating a framework that will encourage a direct and fruitful exchange between buyers and suppliers and the ideal environment for setting up new collaborations and strengthening strategic partnerships.

"The project aims to launch an event that enables the European yachting market to meet in Italy, the country that leads the industry," said Pierpaolo Ponchia, Managing Director of Easyfairs Italy. "Milan is the country's business powerhouse and a strategic city, both because of its accessibility and its ability to attract professionals and investors from all over Europe.

At Easyfairs group, which manages over 100 B2B trade fairs in Europe, we have the know-how to create an event that will meet the industry's needs right from the very first year, offering highly qualified networking opportunities."

With over 150 exhibitors expected, SEAQUIP looks set to become a new hub for the B2B yachting industry, promoting innovation and synergy.
