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).

Never been to an event like this? Here’s what to expect: In a hackathon, programmers, designers, entrepreneurs, marketers and creative minds work together on an idea over several days (and nights, if you’d like). A business model and/or a first prototype are developed in small teams and then presented to a jury. It's all about passion for hacking and products, the desire for quick results, new contacts and friends - and lots of fun. At the beginning of the event, each participant is allowed to present his or her idea. So, if you already have an exciting idea, bring it on stage! But even if you spontaneously come up with an idea during the other Idea Pitches – you’ll get your opportunity. After the idea pitches, each participant can decide on which idea he/she would like to work – the teams are formed around the ideas. Our hackathon is free of charge to attend – we provide food, drinks, working space and an internet connection. Bring a notebook or any other things you’d like to work/tinker/hack with, lots of motivation (and an idea, if you got one).
