The Port of Bahía Blanca joins the PORT INNOVATORS NETWORK
SmartportLab, the innovation hub of the Port of Bahía Blanca, joined the network. The announcement was made during the International Port Entrepreneurship Congress of Opentop, held in Valencia. This second edition of the Congress brought together key participants and stakeholders in innovation and entrepreneurship in the port, maritime, and logistics sectors.
SmartportLab is a startup incubator and accelerator that, through open innovation programs, seeks to connect talent with large companies in the port logistics sector. Additionally, it aims to build a smarter, more efficient, sustainable, and community-integrated port-industrial ecosystem. SmartportLab will connect its port innovation community with PIN, the world's first network port innovation net. The new connection benefits the community itself and the communities of other PIN members by fostering better connections between startups, companies, entrepreneurs, and partners from all hubs
According to Martin Virdis, Port of Bahía Blanca's Head of Innovation, "Joining the PIN will allow us to accelerate our growth and international expansion process, giving us the privilege of building the port of the future along with leading organizations worldwide." We are eager to begin working inside the network and are incredibly appreciative and thrilled about this opportunity."
"With SmartportLab, PIN gains a key player in port innovation in Argentina and South America, expanding the network's footprint and creating new collaboration opportunities," said Antonio Torregrosa, General Director of the Valenciaport Foundation, who spoke on behalf of PIN and Opentop.
Notably, the Port Innovators Network is a global network of port innovation centers, aimed at promoting the adoption of innovation in the global port system by connecting communities of innovation centers, such as startups, entrepreneurs, companies, researchers, universities, and investors, to share innovative ideas, project results, innovation experiences, methodologies, and best practices.
