Represented by our CIO, Mr. Francisco de los Santos, our port took an active lead at the III Edition of the Smart Ports Workshop: Plunge into Ports 4.0.
The workshop was held at Sngulars headquarters in Madrid and brought together a host of delegates who represented Ports and Port Authorities, and the tech companies involved in developing innovation projects for the port-logistics sector.
Following the opening ceremony and workshop presentation by Mr. Juan Manuel Martinez Manager of Eurogestion the lectern was handed over to Mr. Jose Llorca Director General of the State Ports Innovation Department. He presented the plan for entrepreneurship to drive innovation in the port sector, which his public agency was to put into action imminently.
The morning continued with a block of presentations that let the audience know about real cases and successful innovation projects. Our APBA delegation also had the opportunity to put forward the strategic pillars that would transform the Port of Algeciras Bay into a new-generation smart port that would be mainly based on the implementation of a digital platform to orchestrate our operations and consolidate innovation as a business process.
Finally, our APBA representatives took part in a round table meeting together with delegates from other Port Authorities and pioneering tech companies involved in our sector, such as T-Systems, Portel, Thales, Wonderware and Sngular.
