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.
