NEVA 2025 is dominated by Russian state-owned primes — USC, Rosatom, and their subsidiary shipyards — alongside the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping and Krylov State Research Centre.
- International participation (Turkey, China, India, South Africa) is present but constrained by post-2022 sanctions, with the exhibitor mix shifting toward Russian and Asian suppliers.
- The 2023 edition sold out all floor space with 646 exhibitors and 34,171 visitors, and 2025 projections exceed those figures.

Why it matters
NEVA is the dominant gateway event for any supplier seeking access to Russia's civil shipbuilding, Arctic/Northern Sea Route, and inland-waterways procurement pipeline, drawing state corporations such as USC and Rosatom as programme organisers and anchor exhibitors.
- For SMEs and international suppliers, the 100%-sold-out exhibition space and 700+ exhibitor roster signal a highly competitive but commercially active market where deals and framework agreements are signed on the floor.
- Despite Western sanctions constraining some participation, the event continues to attract 30+ countries and remains the primary B2B matchmaking platform for the Russian maritime supply chain.

Annual Meeting of the Supply Chain
Lévis / Canada
This is the primary procurement-facing event for Quebec's naval supply chain, where federal ministers have used the platform to announce National Shipbuilding Strategy (NSS) contracts and submarine procurement updates — making it a critical intelligence touchpoint for any company seeking Davie, Royal Canadian Navy, or Canadian Coast Guard business. With ~750 participants and ~65 exhibitors, it is compact enough for SMEs and startups to gain direct access to prime contractors such as Chantier Davie and Thales Canada. Pre-scheduled B2B meetings with national and international outsourcers give exhibitors a structured path to new contracts.
