Supporting port professionals, businesses and communities in the transition to a Circular and Low Carbon Economy
Themes
Moving from the Why to the How
Bringing together partners from a highly competitive port environment on the basis of their own interests and assets opens up opportunities for collaboration (temporary or otherwise) between the port and the public community. It harnesses the power of self-interest within a shared vision around a defined or recognisable challenge or ‘theme’. By moving from the Why to the How, these themes become meaningful or well enough understood to enable reasonable action.
