Location: Athens, Greece

An initiative of Emirates Shipping Association under the Patronage of the Ministry of Energy & Infrastructure, the Maritime Leadership Program 2026 is an executive program for the UAE maritime industry’s most forward-thinking leaders and change-makers.

-Efficiency in the Global Supply Chain and Logistics Ecosystem
