The ResC4EU Consortium has met for the first time ever for the Project Kick-Off in the historic Bremen Cotton Exchange, a 150-year-old landmark for global cotton trade, jointly hosted by local consortium partners, the Institute of Shipping Economics and Logistics (ISL) and the Maritime Cluster Northern Germany e.V. (MCN). At the first day, partners have aligned planned activities for the coming months, starting with an assessment of the needs, risks, disruptions, challenges, and opportunities for SMEs. On the second day, the ResC4EU Consortium was invited by MCN (Bremen) for a special visit to the Bremer Town Hall (UNESCO World Heritage site) and later on to visit the leading-edge Center for Eco-efficient Materials and Technologies (ECOMAT) for lightweight constructions “Made in Bremen”. At ECOMAT, the consortium met further companies and regional development agencies with presentations from Bremen Invest from the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Ports and Transport, discussing Bremen’s role as an international hub for transport and logistics, ECOMAT, Bremen OHB Digital Services GmbH on IT security and software development – a company of the European space and technology group OHB headquartered in Bremen, and the Transfer Center for Optimised, Assisted, highly- automated and Autonomous Systems (TOPAS).
