The archipelago’s port and financial ecosystem is finalizing preparations for the international SCAI 2026 gathering, scheduled for October 26 and 27 at the historic Hotel Santa Catalina. In recent days, the organizers have formalized the addition of new strategic sponsors linking the ship repair, logistics agency, investment banking and technology sectors. You can register here.
Among the agreements signed, the support of financial institution CaixaBank and Italian consulting firm Scenario Srl stands out. Both corporations will not only provide funding for the forum but will also lead panels focused on the role of investment banking in the maritime business and new technical training models for the transoceanic industry.
Industrial backing from Zamakona Yards and Canarias Shipping
The island’s shipbuilding sector has rallied around the event with the addition of Zamakona Yards, one of the leading companies in ship repair and offshore services in the Mid-Atlantic. The shipyard’s participation reinforces the event’s industrial profile at a time marked by demand for advanced engineering and sustainability in the Canary Islands’ docks.
CANARIAS SHIPPING, S.L., a shipping agency, has likewise joined the list of corporate partners, strengthening the representation of companies providing port services and cargo logistics. The formalization of these alliances seeks to position the Las Palmas hub as a relevant forum for debate on attracting capital, modernizing infrastructure and driving technological transformation in the international maritime sector.
