What we try to do at the Hackathon is to bring all those young, bright, enthusiastic people into contact with the complex port environment that they do not know.

If we work together as a port sector, as a maritime sector, we can achieve some steps in the right direction and contribute to a better environment.

The World Port Hackathon drives change in the whole industry.

If you want to compete and accel in ports, collaboration is key. Eventually, it is the right scene that provides the right innovations.

We believe that these young people at the WPH have the skills to challenge us to do good stuff, especially in proving how technology can help the logistic processes.

I see lots of creative people, I see people with lots of energy, putting up creative ideas not being afraid to challenge the way things are currently done.

24-hours ago we knew nothing about ports, and the port of Rotterdam. Now we built something that people who have worked here for years might actually find useful, and that’s amazing!

We came up with 4 ideas last 24-hours. We didn’t really know the port world until 24-hours ago. So that’s why it took us a few ideas to iterate on something that is truly unique.

Just to sit here at the World Port Hackathon and think about problems for once was really fun!

Before the World Port Hackathon I had a little chat about possible ideas and on the Hackathon, we actually kind of make it work!

I like to learn what all the teams have been building, there is a huge diversity of the teams participating in the Hackathon. Let’s build new relationships.

It is an era of change, every organisation is going to search for the limits to be more efficient and more sustainable.

At the WPH we are looking for possibilities to provide nautical information in an easy system for navigational purposes in our port.
