The Innovation Committee of the Port of Algeciras held, last February 7th, the second of its quarterly meetings, since the initiative started in the spring of 2023.
After a brief welcome by Jesus Medina, Head of the Technological Development Area of the APBA and President of the Committee itself, the session began with the presentation of the 5 new Expert Advisors (public or private entities that can guide and provide support in new technologies and innovation) that had applied to join and that are added to the 36 initial members of the Committee, these are: Navozyme, Global Candace, Corporación Tecnológica de Andalucía (CTA), Terminales Marítimas del Estrecho (TME) and ADDocean.
Likewise, the day served, on the one hand, to publicize the development of various innovative proposals based on disruptive technologies such as artificial intelligence, digital twin, IoT or Virtual Reality, with impact on port-logistics activity and arising in the environment of the Port of Algeciras. On the other hand, on the occasion of the recent launch of the 3rd Call of the Ports 4.0 Fund by the Public Agency Puertos del Estado, the members of the Committee delved into the scope of this funding mechanism as a boost for their ideas and innovation projects, being able to identify opportunities for collaboration within this forum and sharing experiences of past editions.
