Open Innovation Challenge

Inland ports as enablers of green logistics and sustainability

THE WINNER OF THE CHALLENGE IS DETERMINED!

Out of a total of 33 submissions, 15 were selected for the next round by the community. After that, the TOP 15 Ideas were judged by a 6-member jury based on previously defined criteria.

 Jury-Statements:

“This idea brings together many existing ideas. It therefore doesn’t really sound new but the synergies between all its aspects can have a huge impact and truly transform a port into a center of green logistics.”

“I like this project quite much. Personally I am not so convinced that inland ports and parcel delivery to individual consumers in the city center is a good concept. But this project goes in my eyes to the better main items: Energy Quay, water based selective ware collection. And it is French!!”

“Port of Lyon develops services that are partly new for the classic tasks of an inland port. Ports have to develop and have always taken on new tasks, very good development!”

“The idea addresses two completely new services (renewable energy station and waste logistics) with high relevance for the future non-fossil-based transport and connects them in a meaningful way. Both services promise to lead to a more resource-efficient personal transport and logistics world through their exemplary function. The services are not only ideas, but seem to have already been partly implemented.”

“This project describes a bunch of ideas for sustainable and innovative hubs in the port, with the aim to create synergies with the city. Despite some very concrete and convincing ideas, it is more a list of opportunities, rather than a description of how to implement these ideas. A lot of work still has to be done, based on these excellent ideas.”

CHALLENGE GOALS

What can European inland ports contribute to achieve the European climate targets?

Globalisation, changing consumer behaviour and urbanisation are leading to a steady increase in traffic, freight transport and emissions in European cities. These developments call for new solutions and rapid action in order to actively face the challenges arising from them.

Join in, be part of something new and win big prizes!

  • With your idea we will achieve Europe’s transport, environmental and climate targets for 2030 and 2050!
  • You have the competence for sustainable solutions when it comes to strategies and approaches to achieve the climate goals!
  • Support the European inland ports in making a sustainable and active contribution to achieve the climate targets!

Together with you, we will collect ideas on how European inland ports, in their role as multimodal transport hubs, can contribute to achieve the European climate targets.

This way to the SUBMISSION-PLATFORM!
