Start-up accelerator PortXL has revealed its 2024 cohort of nascent innovators dedicated to fostering sustainability in the maritime and logistics sectors.

During RDM, the Rotterdam space for technology education, test facilities and field labs, the ten start-ups and scale-ups had the opportunity to connect with PortXL alumni, partners and mentors who will assist them in the coming months.

“We are proud and excited to welcome these ten innovators to the PortXL programme and ecosystem and look forward to guiding them to both a higher level of maturity and to collaborations and customers,” said Christel Pullens, director at PortXL.

For the partners and PortXL’s team this was the conclusion of months of gathering industry questions and problems, and finding and evaluating start-ups and scale-ups to match these challenges.

In the coming months the innovators will go through the programme with the goal of collaborating with industry players, pilot projects, investments and more.

Since 2015, PortXL has facilitated the growth of more than 120 start-up and scale-up companies. Its industry partners include the Port of Rotterdam, Van Oord, City of Rotterdam, Damen Shipyards, GTT and MINDbase.

This year’s cohort comprises Akros Energy, Carbon Blue, CL Circular, Seadar, Fjuel, EME, HalioGen Power, Omniwind, SEAO2, and Nauti.
