Companies that want to increase their circular activities
The circular industry has been given plenty of space in the port area. For example, we help these companies establish themselves, continuously work on optimal facilities and connect new and existing companies to each other so that they can mutually reinforce each other. We also welcome circular start-ups and scale-ups to become part of the port business community.
This is how we help companies increase their circular activities:
A BioPark in the port area
At the BioPark, companies can develop new sustainable and circular activities on a commercial scale. In turn, we are investing in the nautical infrastructure for incoming and outgoing waterways and ensuring good disposal possibilities by road and rail. We are also developing infrastructure for sustainable energy and raw materials that will facilitate the availability of green hydrogen, steam and CO2.
Prodock innovation hub
Prodock is an innovation hub that helps both growing and established circular entrepreneurs develop their products and processes quickly and effectively. The hub was so successful that it is already getting a successor: Prodock 2.0. This facility will be three times as large and will accommodate companies looking for a lab function, setting up port-related processes or those who need a workshop.
A circular network
The Circular Network was set up via a collaboration between the Port of Amsterdam and network association ORAM. With this network, we’re putting the circular companies in greater Amsterdam on the map and connecting both companies and governments. The Amsterdam region has the potential to become a major circular industrial hub and we’re more than glad to help the region achieve this goal.
Chemistry Platform Amsterdam
This is a platform for the chemical industry with which we stimulate cooperation and innovation in the Amsterdam region. From science to big industry. The platform helps companies and innovators find partners, expand their network or find a location for their work.
Be part of a better port
Together with the port business community and our partners, we strive for a better port every day. That’s why we continuously work on our accessibility and on a smooth, safe and transparent vessel traffic process. And we’re developing a future-proof port region. By investing in energy sustainability and circular activities, we’re taking the lead.
Keep up to date on all new developments.
We've opened the largest sea lock in the world
With the new sea lock, the Port of Amsterdam is once again assured of reliable sea access for a long time to come. With this new facility, we can work together with the municipality and other parties in the North Sea Canal area on the development of the port into a sustainable and circular energy and raw materials hub.
Efficient transport to and from the port
Companies in the port area need to transport their goods quickly, safely and traceably to and from the port. That is why we are working on our accessibility by water, road and rail. And continuously improving the exchange of data with all parties involved.
Investing in future-proof infrastructure
Besides seeking out more and better connections, we are also investing in future-proof infrastructure – both above and below ground. This way goods can be transported quickly and easily to and from the port, by water, road, rail and pipelines.
Production and storage of renewable fuels
We want to remain a major energy and fuel port whilst also embracing the future. That’s why we have set our goal to become fully climate-neutral by 2050. With our good hinterland connections, knowledge and infrastructure for blending fuels, and the biobased production facilities near the port, this goal shouldn’t be a challenge.
