5G-LOGINNOV project which is funded by the Horizon 2020 programme is looking for solutions based on 5G technologies which will be implemented in three European ports or neighbouring city areas (Athens, Hamburg and Koper).

The project aims at optimising freight and traffic operations at ports and logistics hubs by using new innovative concepts, applications and devices supported by 5G technologies, Internet of Things (IoT), data analytics, next generation traffic management and CCAM (Cooperative, Connected and Automated Mobility).

The project has a strong interest in the emergence of new market players, such as SMEs and start-ups, taking advantage of the growing adoption of distributed cloud computing technologies in 5G networks and making it possible opening innovation at service level in the logistics and Industry 4.0 sectors.

Start-ups selected to participate in the 5G-LOGINNOV project will have the opportunity to:

• Investigate and gather experience with 5G based technologies for their use case;
• Deploy and validate their solution in real operating environment;
• Explore technical benefits;
• Exploit information discovered;
• Develop new business opportunities;
• Present their solutions at major international events.

The concepts developed in the course of the project will support port areas and city-ports in handling upcoming and future capacity, coping with traffic congestion and environmental challenges while developing economic and innovative business opportunities for the surrounding regions.
