THE FUTURE OF THE CANARY ISLANDS PORTS
On the 20th and 21st of October 2025, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria will host Shipping Canary Islands 2025, a keyevent for maritime and logistics professionals internationally.

This encounter will also delve into the future of maritime transport and port infrastructure, with a particular emphasis on Africa’s increasing influence in global dynamics. Additionally, leading industry experts will share their knowledge and perspectives on the present and future of the maritime sector.
The programme will feature:
- High-level conferences with presentations from renowned international experts.
- Roundtable discussions on the latest innovations and trends in the sector.
- Ample networking opportunities to build valuable relationships and explore new partnerships.
