For the first time in its 12-year history, London International Shipping Week will feature a Global Hub – a brand-new addition to the LISW25 programme, designed to reflect the truly international nature of the week.

Hosted at the iconic County Hall on London’s South Bank, the LISW25 Global Hub will be a major focal point on Tuesday 16 September, welcoming global industry leaders and senior government figures, with Ministers and Ambassadors joining the international delegations coming in from across the maritime world.

What is the Global Hub?

The LISW25 Global Hub is an all-day programme of high-level seminars, exhibitions, and networking opportunities taking place under one roof. It brings together country delegations, policymakers, and industry experts to explore international trade, maritime innovation, sustainability, investment opportunities, and key global challenges. In so doing, it provides the perfect forum for in-depth discussion and serious debate on a variety of issues that will play out across London during the entirely of LISW25.

Visitors to the Global Hub can expect to hear from Ministers, Ambassadors, CEOs, and leading thinkers from the UK and abroad, representing the Middle East, Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas.

Key Highlights:

  • Country-led presentations on maritime trade, investment, and policy
  • Ministerial and Ambassadorial participation from across the globe
  • Sector-specific seminars hosted by international stakeholders
  • Exhibition showcasing global maritime innovation and collaboration
  • Excellent platform for business opportunities and professional networking
