Five million euros for the smart port community

BREMEN. In June, the smart port community associated with bremenports, the University of Bremen and the Institute of Shipping Economics and Logistics (ISL) received a letter with some good news from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF): “Of the nearly 500 applicants from all over the country, your community has been selected”. In other words, the German Agency for Transfer and Innovation (DATI) will fund the community’s projects with up to five million euros over the next four years as part of the BMBF DATIpilot programme. The project will officially kick off in early 2025. The purpose of the DATIpilot programme is to promote knowledge transfer from research to application and thus generate new solutions for social challenges, which is what makes it so special. “Promoting the smart port community through the Federal Ministry of Research is a significant vote of confidence in the innovative power of the Bremen ports,” says Kristina Vogt, Bremen Senator for Economic Affairs, Ports and Transformation. “With up to five million euros, we can significantly advance the digital transformation of our port infrastructure.”
