About
PORTS 4.0
PORTS 4.0
The Capital Fund PORTS 4.0. aims to generate an open innovative ecosystem that allows entrepreneurs, researchers, start-ups, university spin-offs, small and medium-sized technology companies and large corporations to get in touch with and learn about the challenges and the functioning of the port-logistics sector.
The objective is to promote and contribute to the development of innovative technological solutions – whether products, services or processes – through the application of new enabling technologies of the new economy in the context of the fourth industrial revolution, to improve the competitiveness, efficiency, sustainability, decarbonization and security of the Spanish logistics-port sector, as well as to promote its digitization process.
What we are looking for
Innovative or disruptive ideas and projects at any stage of TRL that develop new technologies or their application, or that introduce innovative products, services or processes in the market or improve existing ones, with direct application in the logistics-port ecosystem or to the different links in the logistics chain.
What we offer
Subsidized aid, awarded through a competitive process, aimed at increasing the level of technological maturity of ideas and projects with the commitment to carry out work that leads to an effective jump in TRL: From idea (TRL < 3) to pre-commercial project (TRL between 3 and 6), from Pre-commercial Project (TRL between 3 and 6) to a TRL 7 of technological maturity and from Commercial Project (TRL ≥ 7) to being in a position to be commercialized (TRL 9).
