Free webinar – Inland ports boosting the green and circular mobility transition<\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Inland ports play an increasingly important role in the greening of Europe\u2019s transport system. The envisioned modal shift from transport by road to waterways and railways in the coming years provides a valuable opportunity for the development of inland ports as circular green energy hubs.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

<\/div>

This webinar, organized by the Dutch provinces of Overijssel, Drenthe\u00a0and Northern Netherlands, will highlight the important contribution of Small and Medium inland ports in the transition to a sustainable and circular mobility sector. Enhancing circularity will be beneficial for the people, business, and regions and cities. In particular circular initiatives combined with sustainable transport modes will contribute to economic benefits, climate neutrality, and will harness the potential of innovation. Combining the topics of circularity and transport is an unique opportunity to contribute to reaching objectives of the European Green Deal. Get inspired by the examples of circular frontrunners Port of Zwolle, Port of Oostende and Port of Sande Havn and learn about the opportunities for SME’s!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
