The 15th edition of ITECHMER will be held from Wednesday 11 to Friday 13 October 2023 at the Lorient Bretagne Sud Exhibition Center.

Supported by the local authorities and the fishing industry, ITECHMER aims to give a wide echo to the societal and environmental issues of the sector. Technological and scientific solutions, innovations and services offered by exhibitors, conference program: ITECHMER 2023 will be the perfect place to meet an industry that is building its future.

New challenges must be faced because of the energy crisis, the climate change emergency, and the need to preserve the oceans.  The fishing industry must be transformed to continue to guarantee food sovereignty and the vitality of our marine and coastal territories.
