the innovative climate, the potential of the area due to<br />
the presence of the enormous amount of residual and<br />
waste streams and the industrial scale.”<br />

What’s happening? How does it happen?<br />
An online and offline platform is created to stimulate<br />
exchange between industrial companies in the<br />
harbour. They focus on processes and know-how<br />
related to their existing activities, for example a heat<br />
network in connection to the city or the filtering of<br />
wastewater for phosphates for the production of<br />
fertilizers. Beside the online platform, Clean Capital<br />
also organises events, like the <strong>Circular</strong> Challenge,<br />
where startups from an international network are<br />
connected to facilities and possibilities in the port.<br />
Why is this an interesting circular initiative for<br />
circular ports?<br />
This platform was mainly set up to recruit new companies<br />
and was set up during years of economical decline,<br />
where the Port Authority was looking for other<br />
business-models. Here, collaboration with other<br />
semi-public actors made sense to make quick steps<br />
towards new economies around the valorisation of<br />
the flows at hand. The success was mainly due to the<br />
fact that AEB and Waternet quickly (together with<br />
Port Authority of Amsterdam) shared knowledge and<br />
expertise with each other as there was mutual trust<br />
from the beginning. As such, they were able to start<br />
projects and exchanges in a quick and disruptive way.
