Well, look at that—the Port of Portland just landed on Fast Company’s list of the World’s 50 Most Innovative Companies of 2025. Right up there with YouTube and the WNBA. That’s quite a big deal for a public agency. Apparently, turning an airport into a full-on love letter to the Pacific Northwest—with a locally sourced mass timber roof, all Oregon shops, 90% union-built everything, geothermal systems cutting fossil fuel use by 90%, and art that tells the story of Oregon—really does grab attention. Who knew? (We had a hunch.) Check out the full feature and see how our very own PDX is redefining what an airport can be—carpet and all: https://lnkd.in/gD5sPTgN ---------- #pdxairport #portlandoregon #pdxnext #FCMostInnovative

Traveling to Portland for the International Mass Timber Conference? Don’t forget to #lookup when you land at the Port of Portland. The new 9 acre, 400,000 square foot #masstimber roof has been open since August and is one more reason why Portland has the best airport in the country! The timber used in the project came from within a 300 mile radius of the airport and was sourced from small landowners, tribal lands, and community forests practicing sustainable forestry. If you want to learn more about the project at the conference, and the future of mass timber construction, come visit Timberlab at booth 522. KPFF Consulting Engineers ZGF Architects

Big plans take time—but we’re not sitting still. As we transform a historical marine terminal into the Mass Timber and Housing Innovation Campus at T2, we’re putting the space to use now by partnering with local businesses like NativeWest Corp. They’re leasing space at T2 to stage and manage mass timber panels for PSU’s expansion—a project that not only helps their business grow, but also helps us support the region’s mass timber innovators today. NativeWest’s work is the kind of complementary use we envision for the Mass Timber and Housing Innovation Campus—a place where companies can innovate, scale, and lay the groundwork for a thriving future. For NativeWest, this partnership opens the door to bigger opportunities, proving their ability to take on large-scale mass timber projects beyond their longstanding work in steel fabrication. A thriving mass timber industry starts with opportunities like this—and we’re just getting started. Looking for space to support your work? Get in touch at https://lnkd.in/gDumg5qv.

From hauling wheat on her family’s ranch to leading the Oregon Department of Agriculture for 13 years, Port Commission President Katy Coba knows firsthand that “trade isn’t just business — it’s a way of life.” In a recent article for the Portland Tribune, Katy explains that Oregon is one of the most trade-dependent states in the country. Our farmers, manufacturers, designers, and small businesses rely on strong global connections—but rising tariffs are threatening everything from local jobs to the cost of everyday goods. Her message is clear: trade policy should drive growth, not uncertainty. Oregon needs a strong, strategic approach to keep our economy thriving. Check out her full perspective here: https://lnkd.in/gyUue8zZ

"Nothing for us without us" — it's a common mantra in the disability community, stressing the importance of involving individuals when designing for accessibility. The mantra is one the Portland International Airport (PDX) airport has fully embraced in their efforts to improve accessibility for travelers with disabilities and their families, as Walter Marchbanks, Customer Program and Services Manager at Port of Portland, explained in the latest episode of HearSay Shorts. Learn how the Accessibility Advisory Committee at PDX has played an integral role in creating accessible designs in both physical and online spaces at the Portland Airport and the benefits of enhancing accessibility. Listen to the full episode here: YouTube: https://lnkd.in/eex-Asex Spotify: https://lnkd.in/e2YASkrD Apple Podcasts: https://lnkd.in/emRgi6Jg Video Description: Walt, a white man with short brown hair, is looking directly at the camera. He is wearing a white and blue collared shirt layered under a lightweight jacket. He is indoors, standing or sitting in front of a wooden door with a small portion of a light-colored wall visible behind him. Transcript: Walt: Eric Lipp with Open Doors Organization said it best when he said, "Nothing for us without us." So for us, we always think about the user, put the user at the front of the discussion, and design around that. We want universal accessibility, but we also want to use targeted universal accessibility. So we lean on our Accessibility Advisory Committee to really help us sort of educate those discussions. But when it comes to relationships, I mean, those are the key. Those are the front of everything. It's, how do you establish those connections? How do you establish those relationships and nurture those and really work to create the best experience possible? #NothingForUsWithoutUs #Design #DisabilityAdvocacy #UniversalDesign #AccessibleTravel

Oregon’s economy depends on global trade, and right now, collaboration is more important than ever. Sponsored by State Representative @Daniel Nguyen, House Bill 3100 brings the Port, state agencies, and local businesses together to build a unified trade strategy. Small and medium-sized businesses make up 88% of Oregon’s exporting companies. As the Port of Portland’s chief trade and economic development officer, Kimberly Branam, put it, “Maintaining and growing Oregon’s traded sector is a team sport. House Bill 3100 ups our collaboration at a critical stage. Impacts from increased tariffs and retaliatory measures could be significant. Complex times call for different approaches.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/gNXqBfP6
