Get ready to dive into the world of smart ports and discover the latest trends, innovations, and opportunities that industry professionals and experts will bring to the forefront during this event.

What’s in store for the 5th edition of Smart Ports: Piers of the Future 2023? One of the main objectives of this event is to connect startups in the maritime and port industries. It’s all about showcasing innovative solutions, fostering networking opportunities, and encouraging collaboration and partnerships to drive innovation and growth within the smart port ecosystem. Startups play a crucial role in driving innovation and improving operational efficiency in the eight participating ports, including Antwerp-Bruges, Barcelona, Busan, Gothenburg, Hamburg, Los Angeles, Montreal, and Rotterdam.

But that’s not all! The event has also extended its invitation to the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore, the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority, the Tanger Med Port Authority, and the Port Authority of New South Wales. The main focus is on knowledge exchange and the implementation of smart technologies like automation and digitalization to enhance port operations.

We believe that the best way to find solutions is through knowledge exchange between startups and ports, and events like the Smart City Expo World Congress provide the perfect platform for that. In fact, this year’s edition of the event has added a new track called “Tomorrow.Blue Economy” to highlight the importance of sustainable practices in the maritime and port industries. This expansion reflects global efforts to promote environmental responsibility and resource conservation. It’s all about discussing innovative solutions, technologies, and strategies to promote a sustainable and environmentally friendly blue economy.

The Smart Ports: Piers of the Future 2023 event will feature an “Innovation Zone” within the Smart Ports and Tomorrow.Blue Economy booths. This zone will showcase eight exhibition pods for emerging companies and innovation centers aligned with each port’s ecosystem. It’s the perfect opportunity for startups to showcase their innovative projects in front of investors, industry experts, and mentors.

And let’s not forget about the Tech Tour Blue Economy event happening on 7-8 November. This pitch elevator will give startups the chance to present their projects to the smart ports’ members, who will act as judges on the panel. Out of the ninety-five startups that applied, thirty have been chosen to showcase their projects at the event. Exciting stuff!

Now, let’s talk about the speakers and experts who will be gracing the event. We’ve got a diverse group of individuals who will bring their unique perspectives and expertise to the discussions. From Karina Gibert, a Full Professor on AI and Data Science, to Jens Meier, the CEO of Hamburg Port Authority (HPA), and many more.
