Senior ports subject matter expert Jose Garcia de la Guia represented NextPort during the kick-off of the SAFARI Ports project in Lille the week of June 17th.

SAFARI, a €6.2 million initiative focused on developing safe and climate-resilient infrastructure, is funded by the European Commission under the Horizon Europe program. It brings together 24 organizations from nine countries, including France, Spain, Greece, Finland, Norway, Belgium, Portugal, Lebanon, and Italy.

Many ports and terminals are being challenged by extreme weather events that threaten their business continuity - next generation decision-making tools will provide predictive and prescriptive capabilities. Together with the project partners, NextPort will deploy our DigitalTwin product that will enhance operational resilience in the Ports of Seville, Dunkirk and Lisbon.
