CANNES YACHTING FESTIVAL 2024 : FOLLOWING THE PATH TO GREEN INNOVATION
The marine industry does not escape from environmental challenges and the need to meet the sector’s decarbonisation needs. Boat builders and equipment manufacturers are slowly but surely setting a course towards ecology. Technological and eco-responsible innovations are becoming increasingly common in the boating industry.
The Cannes Yachting Festival, Europe’s largest in-water boat show, therefore naturally decided to contribute to this by highlighting the efforts and energy show exhibitors are putting into boat
building, propulsion, waste management, end-of-life management, eco-design, optimisation, innovative
materials, and so on, to build the future of the marine sector.
In line with the Green Route launched in 2022, this year the Cannes Yachting Festival is launching a new
Innovation Route. It brings together a selection around forty technological and eco-friendly marine
innovations identified by dedicated signage visitors can follow.
“As has been the case every year, the Cannes Yachting Festival gets the season underway by unveiling an
extremely eclectic offer. We are proud to welcome almost 700 boats, with 120 as world premiers, and 640
exhibitors. Once again our visitors will be able to see the crème de la crème of the marine industry, but this year we are pleased to be accommodating around 40 boats, innovations and services that are part of an eco-friendly and decarbonisation approach for the marine industry. There is still a long way to go in making yachting clean, but an increasing number of initiatives are moving things forward and this Innovation Route is a good demonstration of this,” said Sylvie Ernoult, Director of the Cannes Yachting Festival.
