The central theme of B2S Grow and Internationalise the Maritime Economy was chosen by the need to give visibility to a set of dynamics and initiatives in several maritime areas that have made the maritime agenda in the last years. The purpose is to present the results of the main maritime activity sectors in Portugal, with the focus in the North region, and facilitate networking, projects and business developments among the participants through their participation at workshops and business meetings. The celebration of the National Maritime Day will have a special programme dedicated to students, with nautical activity experiences, organised by the National School Sport Co-ordination, from the Directorate-General of Education. B2S is open to all participations, but with mandatory registration in each activity. Business2Sea 2016 has the high support of the Portuguese Presidency and the institutional support of Ministery of Sea, APDL Administração dos Portos do Douro, Leixões e Viana do Castelo, S.A., DOCAPESCA, Portos e Lotas, S.A. and Soja de Portugal.
