The Port of Antwerp-Bruges brought together last week 350+ industry leaders and policy makers for a truly inspiring showcase of 20+ groundbreaking live demonstrations of autonomous technology across air, sea, and land.
🚛 Highlight of the day? The first fully autonomous truck on public roads in Belgium, successfully navigating the port’s roads in real time — a milestone proving that the autonomous future is no longer a concept, but a reality in motion.
Unlike a traditional conference filled with back-to-back presentations, this summit brought autonomy to life by showcasing autonomous systems in real-world operations—allowing participants to experience the technology up close and in action.
The AUTOSUP project was proud to join forces with ALICE (Alliance for Logistics Innovation through Collaboration in Europe), PAVE Europe, and the MODI Project to co-host an interactive World Café workshop on the future of autonomous logistics. Together, we explored how collaboration, innovation, and knowledge-sharing can accelerate the safe and sustainable adoption of autonomous technologies.
🔹 Our mission at AUTOSUP: to empower decision makers with a Decision Support Tool that shows the impact of autonomous technologies on efficiency, ROI, and sustainability. This tool will help ports, logistics operators, and policymakers make data-driven investment decisions, paving the way for integrated, multimodal autonomous freight transport.
👏 Congratulations to the Port of Antwerp-Bruges team and all partners for creating such an energetic, collaborative environment that fuels confidence in the future we are building together.
➡️ We’re already looking forward to the next edition to continue driving innovation and shaping the autonomous logistics of tomorrow!
