We are pleased to invite you to an upcoming webinar showcasing the digital solutions developed within the MAGPIE project (sMArt Green Ports as Integrated Efficient multimodal hubs) .As ports play a key role in the transition towards sustainable and efficient logistics, digital technologies are becoming essential enablers of decarbonization and operational excellence. During this webinar, you will discover a range of innovative digital tools and applications developed and demonstrated within MAGPIE. Join us to learn more about the latest developments and next steps of the MAGPIE project, including latest project results, and a look ahead at the final activities and milestones leading up to the completion of the MAGPIE project at the end of this year.

• The Smart Energy Systems Simulator – Presented by Pedro Vergara Barrios (TU Delft)
  Discover a powerful decision-support tool that models current and future energy systems, helping ports identify grid congestion risks, assess flexibility needs, and make informed decisions to support the energy transition.
• The Energy Matching Tool – Presented by Andrea Lisboa (EDP)
  Learn how this optimization tool balances energy supply and demand, providing valuable insights into future energy requirements while maximizing the use of renewable energy sources, energy storage, and local flexibility.
• The Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Tool – Presented by Marika Hoedemaeker (TNO)
  Explore a data-driven solution that enables ports and logistics stakeholders to calculate supply chain emissions, assess the impact of emission reduction measures, support sustainability reporting, and prepare for evolving environmental regulations.
• The Smart Green Logistics Intermodal Route Planner – Presented by Muriel Andurand (Circoe)
  See how this advanced planning tool analyses and optimizes hinterland transport networks by balancing cost, transit time, and environmental impact, enabling smarter, greener, and more efficient logistics decisions.

Whether you are a port authority, terminal operator, logistics provider, energy stakeholder, policymaker, researcher, or technology innovator, this webinar offers practical insights into how digital solutions can support the transition towards smarter, greener, and more efficient ports.We look forward to welcoming you online!

4–6 September 2026 | Rotterdam, Netherlands

MAGPIE will participate in the World Port Days 2026, showcasing the Port of Rotterdam and its activities.

The event will take place in Rotterdam and will offer a unique opportunity to discover port operations, maritime innovation and the role of ports in the energy and transport transition.

More info: https://wereldhavendagen.nl/

Join us on 17 September 2026 at De Doelen, Rotterdam (NL) for the joint final conference of the MAGPIE and PIONEERS projects.

This event will bring together port authorities, policymakers, industry leaders, and knowledge partners to explore what we proved works in practice and how to turn ambition into action. Through concrete demonstration results, hands-on exchange, and tools like the Green Port Master Plan, our final conference will show how innovation can be embedded into long-term port strategies.

Programme

Learning Labs

Theme 1 — Competitiveness, Innovation & Digitalisation
What if ports shared innovation results as fast as they share turnover data?

Theme 2 — Energy Transition, Sustainability & Clean Industries
What if ports, industry, and logistics operators had to follow one shared energy roadmap: what would change?

Theme 3 — Protect & Secure Ports
What if greening is not just an environmental ambition, but the foundation of a secure and resilient port of the future?

Theme 4 — Access to Finance & Investment
What if we redesigned how we finance innovation — would green port transitions finally gain speed?

Theme 5 — Social Cohesion, Skills & Quality Jobs
What if innovation causes half of today’s jobs to change or disappear; are we ready?
