Expert members from the IAPH Innovation Group have been busy over the summer months, with their ports already having successfully committed investments in people and resources when it comes to innovation. Their contributions, which are now published with the IAPH factsheet guide ‘The mindset shift towards innovation‘, highlight their pioneering efforts to integrate innovation into their port businesses. The publication, which is just 20 pages in length, offers ten recommendations to all port leadership teams on how to integrate innovation in practice. There are further details on the ‘how’ in the following sequential, two-page chapters, with a specific case example in each about how one port succeeded in its quest. The team of authors was led by Gadi Benmoshe (Marinnovators), chairman of the IAPH Innovation Group. The short, non-technical guide explains the positive role innovation can play in organisations and follows the recommendations cited in the IAPH – World Bank Closing the Gaps report on global port infrastructure. The expert team now intends to showcase this white paper’s content to the wider ports community, such as at the in-person upcoming Valencia Digital Summit as well as the Smart Port-Piers of the future event in Barcelona.
