by Mitja Caboni, Acceleration Manager, PortXL

Established in Rotterdam seven years ago as the world's first port accelerator, PortXL is dedicated to growing the economy while sustaining the ecology through innovating the port and maritime ecosystems.

The organisation's main activity is running two concurrent yearly programmes. First is an acceleration track to help start-ups scale their business. Second, a business fast-track to assist scale-ups in connecting with potential clients and having a soft landing in the Rotterdam maritime ecosystem.

The selections for the 2022 programme will take place on 6-7 September (check the infographic to see our impact over the past six years). Here are some key takeaways from our 2021 PortXL Impact Report (as well as a peek into a recent event when nature has met innovation).
