As the global landscape of transportation evolves towards sustainability and efficiency, China has emerged as a pioneering force in the development of automated and smart ports. Since 2015, over 40 automated terminals have been constructed or are currently under development, marking a significant leap in the country's port infrastructure.
In alignment with China's ambitious sustainability goals, notably the 2030 Carbon-Peak and 2060 Carbon-Neutrality Target, ports are swiftly transitioning towards low-carbon and green practices. This paradigm shift presents unparalleled opportunities for collaboration and innovation, especially for Finnish companies seeking to expand their presence in the Chinese market.
Welcome to join the webinar organized by Business Finland on 27 February! The Principal Consultant of the international independent consulting company Drewry will introduce the smart and green ports in China and provide their views to foreign companies.
