Host Port
Located on Spain’s Atlantic coast in the heart of the Basque Country, the Port of Bilbao is one of the country’s leading maritime gateways, connecting Iberian trade with Northern Europe, the UK, Ireland and global markets. The port handles a diverse mix of cargoes, ferry services and cruise traffic, while playing a vital role in regional industry, logistics and economic development.
As the maritime sector navigates the challenges of decarbonisation, energy transition and resilience, the Port of Bilbao is undertaking significant investments aimed at creating a more sustainable and competitive port ecosystem. Major projects focused on renewable energy, shore power, energy efficiency and collaboration across the port community are helping to position Bilbao as a leading example of how ports can balance environmental responsibility with commercial growth.
Delegates attending GreenPort Congress 2027 will have the opportunity to experience first-hand a port community that is actively implementing its sustainability strategy. With major public and private investments reaching maturity, Bilbao provides a unique setting for discussions on decarbonisation, competitiveness, resilience and collaboration across the maritime supply chain.
Beyond the port, Bilbao offers visitors a vibrant blend of culture, innovation and hospitality. The city is internationally recognised for its remarkable regeneration and is home to the iconic Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, world-class gastronomy and a spectacular setting between the Bay of Biscay and the surrounding Basque mountains.
We look forward to welcoming delegates from across the globe to Bilbao for GreenPort Congress 2027.
