ENVOCONNECT: sustainability as a participant magnet

BREMERHAVEN. There’s no other sustainability conference for ports and logistics anywhere in Germany that comes even close to ENVOCONNECT, which was held at Hotel Sail City in Bremerhaven in September. At the invitation of bremenports, around 150 participants spent two days discussing ideas and projects that could make the port industry and logistics even more eco-friendly. The programme included two political presentations and four keynotes. Kristina Vogt, Bremen Senator for Economic Affairs, Ports and Transformation, and Daniela Kluckert, Parliamentary State Secretary to the Federal Minister for Digital and Transport, provided exciting insights into the strategic work of political decision makers, whilst Isabelle Ryckbost, Secretary General of the European Sea Ports Organisation (ESPO), shared her visions for the future of European seaports. The event then continued with a host of fascinating presentations, panels, sessions and discussions. “If we continue to increase participation at this rate, we’ll be able to fill the Weser Stadium in 15 years,” joked Robert Howe, Managing Director of bremenports, at the second ENVOCONNECT.
