Port of Antwerp-Bruges Brainstorm Session:  Building a Safer Port

About this event

ABOUT

Port of Antwerp-Bruges, in collaboration with The Beacon, is organizing a workshop for all interested members focused on port safety. We will first present our main safety challenges and share how we successfully implemented two recent projects to make our port even safer. After that, we ask you to brainstorm with us on how you could turn our current challenges into opportunities, both for us and for you. Following the session, you can submit your ideas, and our innovation team will review them to determine what we can pursue further in 2025.
