Join us to shape the ports innovation for the upcoming years

Port Innovation Days 2024: Join us to shape the ports innovation for the upcoming years

This event will bring together industry leaders, policy-makers and innovators to discuss and present projects aimed at transforming the maritime and logistics sectors.

The main discussions will be about the Digital CoLogistics initiative, a collaborative project focused on increasing the competitiveness of the Galicia-Northern Portugal logistics system through digitalization. This project aims to strengthen the digital integration of strategic value chains, improve the region's logistics positioning and drive environmental transformation by adapting to new ecological regulatory frameworks.

The event will also highlight the HYDEA and H2Driven projects, which explore the use of hydrogen and methanol as alternative energy sources in port fleets, promoting the integration of renewable energies in maritime operations.

In addition, the ReNEW project will be presented, which supports the transition of river transportation to a smart, ecological and climate-resilient sector. This project will include the use of blockchain technology to prevent pollution in rivers and the implementation of Digital Twins technology to increase navigation safety.

The ENEPORTS project will also be presented, demonstrating how ports in the Atlantic Area are evolving into high-tech green energy centers, focusing on reducing carbon emissions and improving energy management through AI. The event will also explore various other initiatives, including innovations in rail terminals, with the aim of creating seamless and sustainable logistics networks.

Port Innovation Days 2024 promises to be an essential platform for collaboration and the exchange of ideas that will shape the future of ports, inland waterways and logistics infrastructures. Don't miss the chance to be part of this transformative event!
