MAREXPO Project Summary
MAREXPO is committed to the dissemination of maritime research, technology and development (RTD) especially those achieved under the European Unions information technolgy programme (ESPRIT) and to the building of the Maritime Information Society. It will improve awareness of information and communication technology (ICT) and its potential to improve the industry's competitiveness in different maritime business processes.
MAREXPO supports the Commission’s RTD programs and stimulates
the rapid take-up and implemen- tation of IT-RTD results in industry, particularly by
SMEs. MAREXPO thus support and provide added value to the Commission’s activities on
RTD and on the implementation of results. Not only knowledge on best practice
implementations is disseminated, also the 
support offered by the ESPRIT programme to
innovative companies will become more visible. Additionally,
mechanisms, activities and services offered by the Commission’s
Maritme Task Force (MTF), and by industrial and regional
organisations (COREDES, AMRIE) become more transparent to the entire
maritime industry.
