The Port of Algeciras, represented by Jesús Medina, the new Head of the Technological-Development Department, actively participated in the Smart Ports 2021 symposium, held virtually in October and which brought together both institutional representatives from Ports and Port Authorities and technology companies involved in the development of innovative projects within the port-logistics sector.
After the event’s inauguration by Pilar Parra Serrano, Corporate Director of State Ports, the conference was divided into two blocks of speeches, presenting successful examples and innovative projects.
During the second part, APBA had the opportunity to introduce the pillars of its strategy to transform the Port of Algeciras into a next-generation smart port, largely based on the implementation of a digital operational-orchestration platform and the consolidation of innovation as a key business process.
Finally, APBA also took part in a round table with Txaber Goiri, Head of Competitiveness and Innovation of the Bilbao Port Authority, and the technology company Wonderware.
