The changing landscape of logistics and technology has forced port authorities to embrace a new role, turning them into hub managers overseeing a complex network of stakeholders and operations. Over the course of the 21st century, there has been an important shift in focus among port authorities, moving away from facilitating maritime connections to actively acting as business promoters. Join us in this session to explore the envisioned future of ports in 2040 and discover the direction ports are taking.
