Future-proof your company with digital technology

Digital technologies can definitely support the sustainable growth of companies in the port economy. We selected four technologies that are rising steeply, and on which we'll host a discussion between technology providers and port economy companies.

The format of this event is a moderated and dynamic round table, that will be strictly moderated. In one hour time, participants will be informed about the state-of-the-art of the particular technology, and engage in a structural debate. The objective: to define the enablers to make your company future-proof with digital technology.

There are two rounds of four parallel sessions. Every participant can attend two sessions (e.g. AI and cyber security).

The purpose of this event is to raise awareness among port economy companies, but also to capture latent or manifest innovation cases of challenges.
