Back to the program
November 5, 2026 • 09h00 - 09h30

How do we move from individual energy projects to a coordinated transition across a port, its city and its wider region? To answer that question, the Port of Rotterdam will present the Green Innovation Compass application, bringing together the solutions, good practices and lessons identified across the European cooperation project MAGPIE. Meanwhile, EDF will add the perspective of a national energy provider, looking at both the infrastructure and social support needed to support this transition. The session will focus on how these different actors can coordinate their needs, investments and priorities to turn individual solutions into practical, scalable approaches.
