If you only work with established solution providers, you risk missing out
on potential new sources of innovation: buying from or collaborating with
an innovative startup or scale-up gives you a competitive edge. Startups
likely outperform existing solution providers, because they have less
overhead costs, and a stronger innovation focus.

Ports and companies active in the maritime sector are realising that the challenges they face and upcoming opportunities based on technology can only be met through innovation. Starting from scratch makes the road to success long. At PortXL, our vision is to increase the sustainable growth of ports through the best matches for innovation.

Testimonials

Atlas

The challenging times in all port related markets, like logistics, oil and gas, and maritime, require that we have a window on new technologies.

PortXL helped us identify these trends, bringing new business models to our markets and challenging conventional businesses.

— CFO, Port of Rotterdam

Changes in the dynamics of our markets means that we need to continuously develop new business models and increase the performance of our current businesses.

Having a window on new technologies and inspiring our employees to adopt these technologies, is what PortXL brings to our business.

— Paul Verheul, COO, Van Oord

In our first year with PortXL we have spoken to more than 20 relevant startups for our business. 3 are now working with multiple divisions in our organization to increase the performance of our operations.

These startup interactions strengthen our global digital transformation process.
