The Ankeri team recently attended the Posidonia International Shipping Exhibition in Athens, Greece, from June 3-7, 2024. Posidonia 2024, themed "Powering ahead," provided invaluable insights and connections in the maritime industry, exemplified by the impressive statistics of the Greek fleet and the event's significant growth. This year’s event was particularly special, marking the best-attended Posidonia in its 55-year history. With over 32 thousand visitors from 130 countries, the event saw a 12% increase compared to 2022.
Throughout the week at Posidonia, we engaged in discussions on sustainable shipping, emphasizing how Ankeri's groundbreaking platform helps in consolidating and managing data to create value, simplify operations, and unlock future opportunities securely and transparently for shipowners, charterers, and managers. We also followed the latest trends and updates in the maritime community, attended events, and exchanged ideas with participants.
On our first day in Athens, we attended a networking event hosted by WOMENTOGETHER and TradeWinds at Zen Beach in Vouliagmeni, Greece. Aimed at welcoming newcomers to Posidonia, especially women, the event brought together over 150 guests in a relaxed setting. It was a great opportunity to meet new people and reconnect with familiar faces, making the rest of the week more approachable and engaging for everyone involved.
Moreover, our CEO, Kristinn Aspelund, gave an insightful interview with Hamburg Messe. He highlighted Ankeri's focus on data transformation and our achievements, including receiving the SMM Start-up of the Year Award in 2022.
On our last evening, we gathered with a few close members of our network at the beach to create a relaxed space for everyone to freely exchange ideas and discuss our week at Posidonia in a friendly setting. The beautiful coastal scenery of Athens and the delicious Greek cuisine complemented the experience, helping to form lasting relationships. Overall, it was wonderful to reconnect with the international shipping community, including our trusted partners, and establish new connections.
The Ankeri team was once more delighted to be part of Posidonia 2024 and looks forward to seeing what the next Posidonia has in store.
See you in 2026! 🌍⚓
