our focus

We welcome innovative companies – especially SMEs and startups – that develop products, services or training to secure a safe port environment. These projects should focus on improving work safety for port workers by reducing the key safety risks. Focus of the innovations:

people-oriented

The port of Antwerp is renowned for its flexibility and productivity. Our employees are our key assets. Goods are loaded and unloaded in Antwerp by more than 9,000 port workers. Each specializes in a specific part of this logistic process.

SAFE WORKING ENVIRONMENT

Our port companies have high demands when it comes to a safe working environment. They invest in different technologies, training and services so their employees can operate in safety.

risk driven

The port is not an ordinary working environment. The workers handle different types of cargo, use large equipment, work on foreign vessels … The work can involve specific risks. The Port Work Innovation Hub aims to further reduce the impact of the key safety risks in the port of Antwerp.
