Inspiration session: people transport on the river Scheldt

MCA LABS

This Inspiration Session, various stakeholders such as government, private maritime companies and technology providers, were brought together to highlight the importance of a new platform for efficient and effective people transport over water.

The event functions as an inspiration for stakeholders to engage in a brainstorm on defining the next steps and taking concrete steps forward in exploring the domain.

Seen that the ecosystem for this is quite complex and diverse, we brought together as many stakeholders as possible to see how you could contribute to get the people of Antwerp to reconnect to their river.

Thomas Gerets (MDK), Stijn Bosmans (De Vlaamse Waterweg NV), Prof. Thierry Vanelslander and 3 AMS students, and Bart Huybrechts (MCA) shared their insights.
