      A call to discover the major issues of a world-class port and understand how it addresses energy and climate challenges and allies itself with future solutions by leveraging its position, location and systems. Indeed, the port has been testing new energy sources for several years now, such as hydrogen produced by Antwerp Chemistry, the largest integrated chemical cluster in Europe. Under the banner “Watt’s Next“, the Port of Antwerp has offered a nine-day exhibition explaining these subjects of transformation.

      For Steven Beckers, food production in the city is the solution rather than the problem. At the heart of Brussels, on a rooftop of the Foodmet food hall spanning 4,000m², he has set up an ultra-modern farm that operates on the principle of aquaponics, a process that actually dates back to the Aztecs and ancient China.
