About the Port of Antwerp The Port of Antwerp is the leading integrated maritime and logistical hub of Europe and the second largest European seaport. Because of its central location in the heart of Europe, and thanks to a widespread network of multimodal connections, the port is optimally connected with the economic centers over all of Europe. Innovation, one of its most important key drivers, makes sure the port of Antwerp is always looking one step further than the current supply chain needs. Next to economic development, the port attaches great importance to the development of social as well as sustainable management. Brief tour description Albert canal: Inland shipping as a sustainable transport mode (challenge: mobility). Main hub: maritime rail terminal to bundle outgoing traffic of multiple maritime terminals to diverse destinations in the (inter)national hinterland + same organization for ingoing traffics from the hinterland (challenge: mobility). Pipelines and their positive influence on environment and mobility: in the field of transport emissions, noise disturbance, congestion, negative visual effects, pipelines score the best (challenge: mobility). Renewable energy: windmills, solar panels, LNG and methane. The port is home to one of the biggest windmill parks on land in Belgium. We also get to see the closed waste heap Hooge Maey. Via pipings, energy is being produced and so it doesn’t end up in the atmosphere. Solar panels also deliver electricity to be used in the port (challenge: sustainability).  Scanners and Amoras: on-site and mobile scanners from Customs, to control containers. Amoras stands for “Antwerpse Mechanische Ontwatering, Recyclage en Applicatie van Slib”. This project is a solution for the storage and processing of maintenance dredging (challenge: safety & security).

The two challenge themes we’ll work with are: Blockstack open source ID management on blockchain Ethereum sidechain   (more on these themes below) This event is open for all who want to get hands-on with the possibilities of blockchain technology. You don’t have to be a blockchain developer to join! Agenda flow: We’ll kick off the day at 9AM with registration and a welcome coffee. Soon after, the challenge owners will introduce the themes from stage and you’ll have the choice to join either group. We’ll organize well-balanced teams per challenge theme to hack away on creating meaningful solutions that you’ll get to present at the closing ceremony, around 6PM. The closing audience will include the full conference participants and speakers (listed here: https://www.bitcoinferenceeurope.com/). So, you’ll have a good chance of meeting potential supporters (e.g. investors) for the next steps in your projects. We’ll end the day with a nice reception and party with a live DJ! We have very limited complimentary spots so grab yours now before they run out! Blockstack: Blockstack is a new internet for decentralized apps where users own their data. A browser is all you need to get started. Our open-source community is building protocols & tools that make it easy to build scalable decentralized apps. Blockstack comes with authentication, user data portability, decentralized storage, mobile SDKs (software development kits), a testnet, and more! During the day, the challenge is to get to know the technical aspects of blockstack, create your identity, start using it and decentralize an existing (open source) application. There is a guide for you to get started: https://community.blockstack.org/hackathon Ethereum sidechain: Ethereum has recently become one of the most prominent blockchain technologies, now serving close to one million transactions per day! A particularity of Ethereum is its ability to run ‘smart contracts’, which are programs that run on the the blockchain. Besides trading, these programs can be used for a wide range of potential applications, from crowdfunding to identify management to gaming. This hackathon track will aim at exploring the possibilities of Ethereum, and at imagining and developing new applications by means of smart contracts. Basic knowledge of Ethereum programming is desirable to participate to this hackathon track. If you have not yet acquainted with Ethereum, we recommend to follow the excellent Cryptozombie tutorial of the Loom network https://cryptozombies.io, which will quickly get you started with the main Ethereum concepts. Alrightie, grab your complimentary tickets and see you on June 1!
