EBI joined the Waterborne Technology Platform (Waterborne TP) as a member. This marks an important step in reinforcing the recreational boating sector’s role within Europe’s broader maritime innovation ecosystem.

Waterborne TP is a key European platform that brings together stakeholders from across the waterborne transport sector, including industry, research organisations, and public authorities. It plays a central role in shaping research, development, and innovation priorities, particularly in support of the EU’s climate and sustainability objectives.

By joining Waterborne TP, EBI aims to ensure that the interests and specificities of the recreational boating industry are better represented in European discussions on maritime innovation, decarbonisation, and future technologies. The membership will also provide new opportunities for collaboration with partners across the maritime value chain, fostering synergies and knowledge exchange.

This new partnership further strengthens EBI’s commitment to representing the boating industry at the European level and ensuring it remains an integral part of the future of sustainable maritime transport.
