We are a EUROPEAN PROJECT for SMART GREEN PORTS

Green Compass Innovation

After five years of demonstrations, research and collaboration, MAGPIE officially ended on 17 September 2026 at the Ports in Transition conference in Rotterdam. Its legacy now lives in the Green Innovation Compass: a single platform bringing together the innovations tested through MAGPIE, lessons learned and insights on implementation. Instead of searching across scattered project results, ports and stakeholders can explore what has been developed and what can be taken further. Navigate the transition hereOn a different note, you’ll find below the latest news, media, and events our team has been involved in.
