German Innovation & Quality meets European maritime demand
What to expect?
BuyBlue is a B2B speed dating event where buyers meet suppliers. In face-to-face meetings lasting about ten minutes, both parties can get to know each other and present their offers, needs and services. Through individually created and coordinated meeting plans, the maximum benefit from the one-day event is to be drawn for each participant. Last year, Buy Blue attracted about 25 Buyers and about 60 suppliers, nearly 120 individual participants in total. 98% of attendees were satisfied or very satisfied, according to the post-event survey.
Take part in BuyBlue and benefit from the unique opportunity to generate business and network in one location while saving time, costs and planning activities. Our non-profit approach will also allow the participation of smaller maritime companies, offering interesting solutions that might otherwise not be noticed by buyers and technical managers.
The following shipyards, shipowners and system providers are already registered as buyers:

BENEFITS for SUPPLIERS:

BENEFITS for BUYERS:
Purchasing agents from European shipyards and technical managers from European ship-owners can benefit from the event by meeting a wide range of highly innovative German suppliers in a time efficient manner and open new sourcing channels for equipment and services!
