Innovation & Technology

A natural challenge for Port Vauban

Port Vauban is the capital of yachting in the Mediterranean, naturally benefitting from the innovation potential of Sophia-Antipolis, the neighbouring technology park.

Our objective is to create value for our clients and provide a range of innovative and internationally recognised services in partnership with companies in the sector.

Technological applications

Port Vauban already attracts yachting professionals who are particularly keen on innovation, whether in terms of propulsion techniques, quality or onboard systems.

In the future, Port Vauban wants to increase opportunities to transfer technologies developed for use on land to the port and yachting sector.

Smart Marina

As a “Smart Marina”, Port Vauban faces a triple challenge of attracting, structuring and uniting the region’s high-tech companies, training establishments and research laboratories to boost innovation to benefit the sector’s economic players.

It also aims to become a place of experimentation and so help open up new markets, develop new yachting solutions and create opportunities for people to learn the skills of the future.
