Call for startups to share tech innovation
Technology startups with the ambition to lead the transformation of the port management and logistics industries will have an opportunity to showcase their ideas with a new global initiative.
Gulftainer has launched the Future of Ports Startup Challenge 2020 to identify these innovators. The port operator has partnered with the Global Silicon Valley labs (GSVlabs), a global innovation platform, to engage startups in five unique areas of opportunity where Gulftainer is pursuing new solutions: The Internet of Things and Robo-Doctors; Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Drones; Big Data and Advanced Analytics; Blockchain and Bring Your Own Idea.
“Gulftainer isn’t looking for incremental technology or ‘easy fixes’ – we are committed to developing long-term partnerships with emerging technology companies and working together to build the port of the future. Our aim is to seek entrepreneurs and unconventional thinkers, with a vision for the future, to chase groundbreaking innovation in technology areas that will transform the industry,” said Peter Richards, Group CEO of Gulftainer.
In addition to the introduction to new investors and industry leaders, Gulftainer will also award a cash stipend to each of the winning startups in each category and provide the opportunity to explore the deployment or co-development of their technology.
The call for applications is now open till 15 August.
