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?
