Smart Ports Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Development

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG V-A France - Belgium - The Netherlands - United Kingdom (Les Deux Mers / Two seas / Twee Zeeën)

Date of latest update: 2024-12-21

Description

Description (EN):

To develop and support the growth of a nascent connected port solutions ecosystem backed by data science and IoT technologies. Bottom-up initiatives are forming around this common goal, mainly among maritime logistics players, port authorities and large IT providers. The current objective is to also connect and develop a community of ambitious data science entrepreneurs (mostly SMEs), data science & maritime experts and knowledge centers, to accelerate application development for port logistics.

Achievements (EN):

Towards its overall aim of creating the ecosystem conditions for accelerated smart port innovation in the 2 Seas area, SPEED is increasingly creating an impact and generating spontaneous interest in the European - and global - smart port community. Even despite Covid, our network is growing, as is the interest in the innovation portal from WP1, the smart port webinars, the smart port maturity model and ecosystem audit methodology from WP 3B. Meanwhile, work packages 2 and 3A are gearing up to introduce the technical and business model tool kits for smart port entrepreneurs they have been developing en we're looking forward to finally organize the twice postponed smart port conference in September 2021. Beyond the deliverables promised, the project's activities are also stimulating follow-up innovation and research projects. As a testament of our impact on moving the innovation mindset in ports: after the ports of Portsmouth and Antwerp, we're now also in full prepration of 2 more open innovation challenges for monetary prizes with ports outside the consortium: Zeebrugge and Northsea Ports. Yet, despite these promising results and the optimism being built towards innovation among the consortium and the smart port stakeholders it engages with, SPEED's mission builds on the frequency and intenstiy of engagement with the stakeholders. So, in this sense the project's activities have been substantially impacted by the inability to meet physically in 2020, especially with regard to how intense we would like to engage with the target groups. Especially the more intensive support foreseen in the development stage and after, in piloting and delivery, are heavily impacted and will require that constraints on physical interaction are relaxed in 2021. As an indirect consequence, reaching the 950 users of the innovation support throughout the innovation project lifecycle is becoming challenging, yet the introduction of the tool kit (O4), the smart port conference (D 5.4.1) are expected to be significant drivers of recrtuiùent and engagement. Hopefully a relaxation of Covid measures against physical meetings should also provide more engagement opportunities, as especially the more intensive engagement events (hackathons & physical meetings) always cause a spike in registrations.

Delivered Outputs (EN):

The SPEED project has clearly contributed to improve the framework conditions for the delivery of innovation, in relation to smart specialisation especially for building a common approach to facilitate the development of data science applications for port logistics with a maximum impact on port productivity through the implementation of: - A cross-border collaborative innovation network (IN) of data science and port logistics players focused on the development of smart port applications, which contributed to the increasing innovation-oriented collaboration between 2 Seas region data science experts and port stakeholders by mobilizing and running a network; - A common innovation ecosystem vision and roadmap toward global leadership in market niches with smart ports solutions for the 2 Seas port area, to reduce institutional hindrances to coordinate logistical flows; - A Common smart port application development project management tool with best practice guidelines throughout the stages of the innovation process, a best practice analysis should result in a predictable and systematic way of managing the innovation process spanning multiple actors with different goals, backgrounds and competencies per data science application. - 2 joint tool kits to diagnose and improve value creation, value delivery and personality development of SP-App entrepreneurs, which supported the creation of a common approach to develop and improve the professionalization of the smart port entrepreneurs and for the adoption of smart port solutions; - A joint technical value delivery toolkit to assure the actual and effective implementation and user adoption of the developed integrated solutions, by valorising the necessary Github repository delivered, a series of APIs, applications and use cases as outcome of the development labs, which can be used by interested SP-App developers in the future to build on a working version of the toolkit.
