How can the port & supply chain sectors leverage startup tech?
Digital disruptors, market-makers and startups will be represented at the TOC Asia Conference on April 9 - 10, as part of Singapore Maritime Week. This includes Igor Jakomin, COO at CargoX, the blockchain platform for shipping document transactions and Don Chen, Managing Director – Asia for The New York Shipping Exchange (NYSHEX) digital ocean freight contracting platform.
Rotterdam-based port innovation incubator PortXL will also lead a special session on ‘Startup Disruption in Ports & the Supply Chain’. "With the fast pace of change in the maritime industry, collaboration between startups and corporates is now more important than ever. PortXL connects startup innovation and corporate needs. So we're excited to work with TOC Asia to further bridge the gap, by exposing more players in the container supply chain industry to cutting-edge technology that could revolutionise existing business models and streamline operations." said Christina Teo, Director PortXL, Singapore.
“Just like the countless industries that it supports and enables, the container supply chain is going through a period of upheaval and uncertainty thanks to digitalisation and automation on the one hand and challenges to the established status quo of globalisation on the other,” said Paul Holloway, Director TOC Events. “That’s on top of IMO2020 and other climate change mitigation measures impacting shipping, ports and transport, not to mention ongoing challenges of adapting to mega-ships, ocean carrier consolidation and alliances. At TOC Asia and other TOC events this year we will be facilitating the dialogue between established industry players, the ever-widening circle of newcomers, start -ups, regulators and policy makers. The global editorial programme we have planned for 2019 is very exciting and will take last year’s debate to the next level. Standardisation as a major talking point throughout the portfolio beginning here in Singapore’
