Weenav at the Nauti-Pro 2026 Show: Accelerating the energy transition of maritime and river boating
Weenav will be present at the first professional B2B nautical show in France. Discover why this Bordeaux event represents a major opportunity to accelerate the transition to sustainable electric navigation.
Bordeaux: The ideal Atlantic gateway to talk about nautical innovation
When you think of Bordeaux, you immediately think of its exceptional wine heritage and its UNESCO listed architecture. But the Gironde metropolis also has a maritime dimension that is deeply rooted in its DNA. Located on the banks of the Garonne and open to the Atlantic, Bordeaux extends over more than 100 kilometers along the Gironde estuary thanks to the Grand Port Maritime de Bordeaux (Bordeaux Atlantic Port).
This strategic position makes the city a natural crossroads for nautical and river activities. Only one hour from the ocean, the city has modern port infrastructures with its floating basins and pontoons dedicated to yachting. For Weenav, this location represents much more than a simple meeting place: it is a territory where our electric motorization solutions find all their meaning, both for river navigation on the Garonne and for maritime activities on the Atlantic coast.
