We ship innovation to the port and distribute it to our partners
PortXL’s innovation program accelerates the progress of decarbonization, energy transition, and operational efficiency, and helps our corporate partners reach their sustainability goals.




“It is quite hard for a start-up to get the time and attention from the big companies. This is why PortXL is so important for us; to make this time available with potential clients and help us get directly to the right people! We would recommend this programme to any start-up setting up in the marine sector.”
“The challenging times in all port related markets, like logistics, oil and gas, and maritime, require that we have a window on new technologies. PortXL helped us identify these trends, bringing new business models to our markets and challenging conventional businesses.”
“Changes in the dynamics of our markets means that we need to continuously develop new business models and increase the performance of our current businesses. Having a window on new technologies and inspiring our employees to adopt these technologies, is what PortXL brings to our business.”
“In our first year with PortXL we have spoken to more than 20 relevant startups for our business. Three are now working with multiple divisions in our organization to increase the performance of our operations. These startup interactions strengthen our global digital transformation process.”
“PortXL creates a place to talk about innovation for the maritime industry, which is generally a very conservative industry. Although we are an American company, the shipping industry is a global product – so PortXL enables us to reach out to the European market. Hopefully we can leverage the PortXL program to take a commercial path forward with our partners.”
