DAPhNE - Who We Are - Introduction of the Partnership

28-03-2017

Nine out of the ten Danube riparian countries are represented in the DAPhNE consortium enabling a truly transnational work approach, fostering exchange of experiences and preparing the basis of the development and implementation of widely harmonized solutions.

The 23 partners are key stakeholders for the future development of the Danube ports and are capable to tackle the core problems identified in the work structure and grouped into port legislation & public funding, port administration & management – including HR & eco-improvements for the port sector and port development – focused on innovation (IT port community system, new market opportunities).

Public bodies like ministries and port authorities/administrations which provide the regulatory framework for the Danube ports joined forces with private port operators, port associations, specialized consultancy firms, logistics companies and universities.

This close public - private cooperation not only ensures a wide range of expertise from different angles but also guarantees well-balanced solutions in the interest of states and industry.
