HPA's Homeport is an innovation campus where technologies such as 3D printing, drones and autonomous vehicles are tested for use in the port industry. A digital twin or digital image of the port is also to be developed. The innovation ecosystem, "The Pier", is based on an idea and vision similar to that of Homeport. The new platform should boost co-operation and create added value.
