Washington state is where maritime tradition meets the future of marine innovation—and where the next big thing begins. From commercial fishing and shipbuilding to clean technology, advanced manufacturing and global logistics, Washington’s maritime industry connects companies to customers and markets around the world.
Washington’s maritime sector generates nearly $46 billion in annual business revenue and ranks among the nation’s leaders in marine GDP and marine employment*. Our collaborative ecosystem brings together vessel operators, ports, manufacturers, researchers and entrepreneurs to advance the technologies and partnerships shaping the future of maritime commerce.
The International WorkBoat Show provides a global platform to showcase Washington’s maritime expertise, strengthen industry relationships and connect companies with customers, suppliers and investors from across the commercial marine sector. Join the Washington companies exhibiting with the Washington delegation and discover how ingenuity, collaboration and a global gateway create opportunities for growth.
