The two-day maritime conference is scheduled to take place at Copenhagen’s AC Bella Sky Convention Center on 23-24 February 2027. World Maritime Forum 2027 will return to Copenhagen for two days of industry dialogue at the AC Bella Sky Convention Center. Organised by IGGS Group, the gathering will unite shipowners, ship managers, shipbuilders, ports, authorities, maritime suppliers and service providers.
As the European Union advances binding decarbonisation measures across transport, the role of e-fuels has become one of the most contested issues in EU energy and climate policy. Aviation is preparing for the gradual introduction of synthetic fuel obligations under ReFuelEU Aviation, while maritime transport faces a more fragmented transition under FuelEU Maritime, alongside difficult and unresolved negotiations at the
By the Green Mobility Magazine in partnership with the eFuel Alliance. A new study by the eFuel Alliance, developed with Porsche Consulting, argues that the debate over e-fuels in Europe should shift from technological feasibility to industrial deployment. In an interview with the Green Mobility Magazine, CEO Ralf Diemer said the report assesses the global potential of e-fuels and their
Q: How would you assess the automotive supply industry’s progress on sustainability in recent years? Automotive suppliers are committed to achieving climate neutrality in their European operations (Scope 1 and 2) by 2040 and across the value chain (Scope 3) by 2050. This ambition is backed by concrete action. Between 2023-2024, the group of largest automotive suppliers have collectively reduced

By Anna Stürgkh, MEP (Austria RENEW), ITRE Committee Europe stands at a crossroads. The next decade will determine whether we can turn our ambitious climate and mobility goals into a tangible reality. Without modern, resilient, and interconnected infrastructure, Europe’s green mobility revolution will stall before it starts. To date, our Union is facing major challenges that hinder the widespread adoption of electrified mobility. The electromobility’s upcoming challenges Limited grid capacityThe electrification of transport is not just about putting more electric vehicles on the road – it is about ensuring the grid can support them. Expanding the charging infrastructure puts additional strain on existing electricity grids, particularly the distribution grid at low and medium voltage levels, where electric cars are usually charged. This creates new peak loads, which occur when many vehicles charge simultaneously. Most of Europe’s electricity grids were not designed for this type of load but rather for a
By Dr Florian Anderhuber, Deputy Director General, Director Energy, Climate & Sustainability, Euromines. Mining sits at the foundation of Europe’s green mobility transition. The sector is not only supplying critical materials, but is itself undergoing rapid electrification, with more than 70% of metals mining already electrified. Thus, the transition is a dual one: how to green the value chain for the materials on which green mobility relies – a supply-side question –, while greening mobility in energy supply, infrastructure, while increasing its market share -, a demand side question. Both must go hand in hand: without a stable demand signal, the raw materials supply will face price volatility and chokepoints. Recent geopolitical shocks, supply chain disruptions and rising global demand have brought raw materials security to the centre of EU policymaking. Diversification and increased domestic production are now strategic priorities Responsible minerals need a responsible vision The European Union is
The European Union is developing a new framework for vehicle circularity and end-of-life management, consolidating rules on vehicle design, recyclability and end-of-life treatment into a single regulatory structure. The measures are intended to increase material recovery, reduce exposure to imported raw materials and support the use of recycled content in new vehicles, while avoiding additional administrative burdens for manufacturers. The initiative places the automotive sector at the centre of a wider recalibration of EU climate and industrial policy. Circularity requirements are no longer framed solely as environmental instruments, but as tools to address supply chain vulnerability, cost pressures and strategic dependence in a globally exposed industry. For legislators, the challenge lies in delivering environmental gains without undermining investment certainty or industrial competitiveness. Alexandra Mehnert, a German Member of the European Parliament from Saxony-Anhalt and a member of the Transport and Tourism Committee, has focused on how these objectives translate into

Europe’s exposure to hybrid threats reaches into the systems that preserve food, store blood products, transport passengers, and maintain communications. Over recent weeks, refrigeration cyberattacks have forced supermarkets to discard stock and threatened plasma stored by France’s blood service. Bomb threats have prompted aircraft diversions, military escorts, and security searches. Investigations into attacks on satellite communications infrastructure have led to
France’s preparations for a major European conflict depend on keeping civilian services functioning while deploying armed forces abroad and responding to disruption at home. Parliamentary testimony exposes the practical tension: the personnel, infrastructure, and suppliers needed for military mobilisation also sustain the economy on which that mobilisation depends. A National Assembly defence committee report brings together hearings conducted in May
By Dariusz Dybka, Director, von Kietz The Warsaw Security Forum (WSF) 2026 was a chance to rethink how Europe talks about security and how it delivers it. But first, the EU and NATO need to define what security as a common good means, and how far its geographical scope extends. With a long confrontation with Russia, hybrid threats, and growing
On Saturday, my family and I watched from our balcony as CRS riot police confronted protesters and, subsequently, rioters outside the government building opposite our flat. Our exposure was necessarily limited, but the distinction between those who had come to express their dissatisfaction and those who had come to cause violence was quite clear. The procession itself, the cortège, followed
Over the past two weeks, a series of security incidents has affected critical and strategic infrastructure across Europe. Rail disruption, drone incursions, incidents affecting airports and border infrastructure, fires and attempted attacks involving defence-industrial sites, and increasingly serious military encounters have all formed part of the European security picture. These events have different circumstances and, where established, different attributions. They
