dtf ports hub.

The Mediterranean's annual platform for ports to exchange knowledge, connect with industry, engage policymakers and accelerate decarbonisation.

About the Hub

A permanent programme, not just another stand.

The DTF Ports Hub is the Mediterranean's meeting point for port decarbonisation — a dedicated space where ports sit down with policymakers, suppliers, investors and EU stakeholders to move from ambition to practical implementation.

Rather than a one-off exhibition presence, the Hub brings the region's ports together to share real experiences — the projects that are working, the lessons learned, and the investment priorities shaping the next decade. Ports take the floor to speak openly about the challenges they face, from shore power and alternative fuels to financing and regulation, and to find the partners and solutions to solve them.

In one place it combines an exclusive Ports Round Table on practical implementation, a Port Intelligence Hub for sharing projects and lessons learned, structured matchmaking between ports, suppliers and investors, and direct dialogue with policymakers — turning conversations into partnerships, funding and real decarbonisation progress.
