SMM is where the international maritime industry meets at the German maritime centre Hamburg. For KfW IPEX-Bank as a financing partner to the maritime industry, SMM is a central platform for marketing sustainable financing solutions and the supplier approach in Germany and Europe. I am looking forward to exchanging ideas with our customers and partners and making new contacts from the maritime industry.

The SMM is one of the most important events in the shipbuilding industry's calendar. In addition to presenting and getting to know innovations, it is particularly important to exchange at the fair and at the surrounding evening events. With the many participants from Germany as wells as from abroad, the fair offers a particularly good opportunity to establish new personal contacts and maintain existing ones in a relatively short time.
