WORKING TABLE 3<br />

PORT-RELATED PRODUCTIVE ECOSYSTEMS<br />

OUTLINE<br />

<strong>City</strong> ports are too small to work on their own<br />

● city port as pin in the vast network of providers, transporters and recyclers<br />

● network of inland waterways as important economical structure<br />

● mapping and consideration of locations and interdependencies in the system<br />

● relation between city, port and hinterland can be important for systemic change<br />

How can the city port make the bridge to systemic change and can its belonging to a<br />

physical network increase the chances for establishing circular economy?<br />

CIRCULAR<br />

PRACTICES<br />

ECONOMY<br />

● Haropa, Le Havre<br />

● Blue Gate, Antwerp<br />

OUTLINE<br />

● Makersdistrict, Rotterdam<br />

new kinds of infrastructure and facilities for circular ● economy Groencollect, Rotterdam<br />

● Galloo, North Sea Port - Ghent<br />

● transshipment docks, consolidation warehouses, ● sorting Biostoom, of waste, Ostend disassembly<br />

facilities...<br />

● investment goes beyond interest of companies and sectors<br />

● too big investments for single actor acould be shared investment of city port<br />

STARTING QUESTIONS<br />

● public - private partnerships and innovative governance agreements, key to steer,<br />

> (How) can such an ecosystem be ‘made’? On the basis of which ingredients or<br />

facilitate or initiate change<br />

parameters?<br />

WORKING TABLE 1<br />

●<br />

COLLABORATION PLATFORMS AS TRIGGERS depends on (economical) FOR ACTION context, timing and coincidence<br />

> What fruitful collaborations can be generated between different port(s) /region(s) /citie(s)<br />

/companies?<br />

<strong>Circular</strong>ity needs infrastructure and typologies to facilitate flows, materials, knowledgesharing...<br />

but who, what, how, where, when?<br />

> What is there to win from collaborating across these territories?<br />

OUTLINE<br />

sharing information & tools to make circularity workable<br />

> Is an economic strategy encompassing wider territories that strictly that of the city port<br />

BEST PRACTICES<br />

already present in urban renewal plans, or visions of ports and cities?<br />

● both for policy makers as companies<br />

● Prodock, Amsterdam<br />

● Material Village, Brussels<br />

> Which actor is missing to bear upon the creation of these productive ecosystems? Who is<br />

● platforms of know-how (scientific and hands-on) to<br />

● Bio boost Base new Europe circular Pilot initiatives Plant, North Sea Port - Ghent already there?<br />

● Port Feeder Barge, Hamburg<br />

● platforms of accessible information: where does actor<br />

● Greenbizz, have to position Brusselsitself in eg. the<br />

different flows (frequency, volumes, quality...) to take action<br />

● going beyond borders of actors as key element for circular economy<br />

STARTING QUESTIONS<br />

● initiated and managed by certain actors of all fields > How important are these infrastructures? Do they really require another way of<br />

operating?<br />

You can’t be circular on your own, but who, what, how, where, when?<br />

> Which actors could take on what role?<br />

ex. (port authority, area managers, ...) moving beyond the landlord role<br />

BEST PRACTICES<br />

● Toile industrielle, Dunkerque<br />

> What is needed to initiate change? What can be provided? Knowledge, money, ...<br />

● Flanders Biobased Valley, North Sea Port - Ghent<br />

● Clean Capital, Amsterdam<br />

> Who is in the position to initiate change, to start transition into new forms of economy?<br />

● Kanaalkant Area Manager, Antwerp<br />

● Cleantech Cluster Region Ghent, North Sea Port > - What Ghentis the right timing for it?<br />

STARTING QUESTIONS<br />

> How does these collaboration precisely happen?<br />

> What collaborations are missing where?<br />

> How are the public actors (city/port) working together?<br />

> What type of companies are or should be involved?<br />

> How can the information be shared?<br />

> What kind of space is needed?<br />

> Which new/other infrastructures are needed?<br />

> Is there a need for more knowledge about promising flows? Or is it more about taking<br />

action with a selection of actors?<br />

> Is the expertise and knowledge of economical actors or groups smartly used?<br />

> What can be the role of OVAM and others regarding this issue?
