Creative ideas are needed in three areas:

1. LOCATION
Innovations at the location of the inland ports in the fields of energy (energy supply and energy generation), logistics services, process optimisation and innovative solutions for local companies and employees.

2. SERVICES
Ideas for integrating ports into urban logistics, creating new infrastructure or creating new services for cities. Inland ports as suppliers to the city.

3. CONNECTIVITY
Inland waterways as supply routes (new means of transport, alternative fuels, etc.)
