What’s happening? How does it happen?<br />
Prodock is the innovation hub of the Amsterdam<br />
port where entrepreneurs, both growing and established,<br />
can develop and roll out their products and<br />
processes. Prodock offers 4000m 2 industrial workshop,<br />
office and outdoor space that are rented in<br />
a ‘plug & play’ way. An example of such a company<br />
is a spin-off from the municipal company Waternet<br />
that wants to soften water with lime granules. In this<br />
new treatmenprocess calcite can be obtained as<br />
residue, which in turn can be a secondary resource<br />
for glass, floor covering and paint.<br />
Why is this an interesting circular initiative for<br />
circular ports?<br />
The port of Amsterdam is rather isolated from the<br />
city and industrial in scale and activities. Offering<br />
space and facilities for testing attracts new kinds<br />
of entrepeneurs that can foster new synergies and<br />
symbiosis between port and city.
