ADM visit: Port of Antwerp-Bruges | The smart port: from vision to reality

We want to ensure that as many members and partners as possible can attend this event. Therefore we are limiting registrations to a maximum of 3 participants per company.

The Smart port: From vision to reality

Port of Antwerp-Bruges, formed by the merger of the ports of Antwerp and Zeebrugge, is evolving into a smart port. This transformation addresses numerous societal challenges related to mobility, sustainability, energy transition, and the security of critical infrastructure. 

Digitalization and artificial intelligence play a crucial role in this evolution. The port, acting as an open innovation platform, serves as a catalyst for market-ready solutions involving drones and remote piloted shipping. 

Erwin Verstraelen, Vice President of Innovation, takes us in his keynote on a fascinating journey of discovery. The perception of what a port is and what it does will never be the same again.

We'll also visit the Port House, one of Antwerp's architectural jewels.
