DAPhNE project partners, University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria (FHOO) and Ennshafen Port (EHOO) attended the annual Austrian Logistics-Day, which was held on the 12th and 13th of June 2018. 

More than 900 experts in the field of logistics attended the annual Austrian Logistics-Day and the Future-Lab at the Design Center in Linz (Austria). During different sessions, various current topics in the field of logistics were discussed. 

On the first day, during the Future-Lab, new innovative concepts and products (e.g. sensors in transport logistics, platooning, etc.) were discussed. The topics on the second day focused on the impact of digitalization in logistics and its effects on infrastructure and business models. During the two-day event, participants had the opportunity to visit an exhibition, at which around 50 exhibitors from industry and research & development informed about the latest developments in IT, technology and logistics services. 

Ennshafen Port also had an exhibition stand and informed interested participants about the DAPhNE project especially with focus on Port Community System as well as new market possibilities and innovation. Another focus was receiving feedback to the Container Market report with focus on empty container business on the Danube. By attending the Austrian Logistics Day, the project partners made sure, that the often-overlooked topic of inland waterway transport and ports are respected when talking about future development and trends.
