What’s happening? How does it happen?<br />
The incubator will cover more than 3300 m², cost<br />
around 11 milllion euro and will provide a mix of flexible<br />
workspaces for starters and individual offices<br />
and laboratories for SMEs, sub-projects of large<br />
companies and knowledge institutions. The incubator<br />
will contain all connections to set up laboratories,<br />
the so-called ‘plug-and-play’ model. Here, renewable<br />
chemicals and the valorisation of waste and residual<br />
streams are approached in relation to the large scale<br />
industrial processes of the port.<br />
Why is this an interesting circular initiative for<br />
circular ports?
