The smart port strategy
How can the different measures taken by the individual players at the port ultimately create a true “smart port”? How can we bundle the interests of the different stakeholders? The smart port strategy drawn up in cooperation with bremenports is intended to deliver answers to these questions. This strategy will serve as a guideline for the next steps of the process.
