The Ports 4.0 capital fund is the corporate open innovation model adopted by Puertos del Estado and the Spanish Port Authorities to attract, support, and facilitate the application of talent and entrepreneurship to the Spanish public and private port-logistics sector in the context of the 4th industrial revolution. The main objective of the fund is to actively promote and incorporate disruptive or incremental innovation as an element of competitiveness, efficiency, sustainability, safety, and security in the Spanish port-logistics sector, both public and private, in order to facilitate its transition to the 4.0 economy. Ports 4.0 will incentivize the creation or consolidation of a network of emerging companies (startups), spin-offs, or new lines of business in the technological field in existing companies that develop innovative products, services, or processes for the market-oriented port-logistics sector.
