The Future of Maritime Infrastructure in the Middle East

Coming Soon

Dubai · UAE

Where Strategy Meets the Sea

The Middle East is undergoing a seismic shift in maritime ambition.

Red Sea Routes 2026 convenes a select circle of senior decision-makers — from port authorities and sovereign entities to infrastructure financiers, shipping executives, logistics innovators, and geopolitical strategists — for two days of closed-door dialogue in Dubai.

For those who build, fund, govern, and operate the arteries of international commerce.

This private forum is dedicated to shaping the future of maritime infrastructure in the Middle East, offering rare access to the people and perspectives defining the region’s next chapter in global trade and connectivity.

Conference Themes

How shifting geopolitics are redrawing the map of global trade corridors and what that means for the Middle East’s competitive position.

Decarbonisation Under Pressure

Navigating net-zero targets, alternative fuels and green port certification in a region still deeply tied to hydrocarbons.
