As a growing city requires more space, but the increasing traffic of larger container ships poses a challenge for the port located directly within the city. Meeting climate targets also requires carbon and emissions-free operation. Despite this, the port’s location provides opportunities for creative solutions to satisfy all stakeholders.
Key Challenge
How can we collaborate in an innovation ecosystem to align port operations with the needs and requirements of residents, while also addressing environmental concerns?
Possible Solutions
- Open Innovation Platform Port of Hamburg to align local and global maritime innovation projects
- Connected River partnership for maritime and logistics innovations, locally anchored and globally connected
- Under the umbrella of "Deep Dive Discovery", we want to connect maritime and logistics innovators with talents and actively tackle the common challenges of the skills shortage with Discovery.Hamburg
