The 11th International Breakfast Meeting will take place on Tuesday 20 January 2026 at boot Düsseldorf (Hall 1, rooms 14–15), under the theme “Future-proofing boat manufacturing in Europe”. The meeting is designed as a focused, high-level forum for manufacturers and the wider value chain to take stock of where the market is heading and what it will take to keep European production competitive.

A key highlight will be the launch of the EBI Economic Index 2026, presenting updated market intelligence, data and trends, alongside economic and policy insights from Brussels that are directly relevant to strategic planning for the year ahead. The programme also features a keynote by Constantin Buschmann (CEO, Brabus), bringing an external perspective from the premium automotive and mobility sector, followed by a CEO discussion with Erna Rusi (Saxdor Yachts), Fabio Planamente (Cantiere del Pardo / EBI Special Representative for the Large Yacht Sector) and Norbert Leifeld (Bavaria Yachts) on how to reinforce Europe’s manufacturing strength and position yards for long-term success.

Seats are limited: members are encouraged to register early and share the invitation internally, especially with colleagues and company teams attending boot Düsseldorf, as it is a strong opportunity to gather insights and network with peers.
