As a keen cyclist delighted such an important event is happening and very proud Michele Khalife that you are playing such a key role. From a professional perspective I am surprised that major initiatives in this area are often limited due to lack of funds, when in fact stronger preparation and clearer negotiation strategies could unlock so much more value. Always available to drive better value and better negotiation outcomes Total Negotiation Group

The Pact focuses on four key themes: Key Enabling Technologies, Sustainable Energy & industry, Sustainable Transport and Food transition In the past year, we’ve achieved significant milestones: 🔹The inaugural steering meeting brought together key stakeholders to discuss strategic initiatives. 🔹 We have initiated fruitful exchanges with numerous public and private stakeholders as well as research entities, covering various themes addressed by the Pact; 🔹 A delegation of 30 Dutch civil servants of the Ministry of Economic Affairs & Climate Policy and the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature & Food embarked on a study trip to Paris, engaging with French counterparts and exploring opportunities for collaboration. A highlight of this visit was the networking reception with counterparts from the French Ministry Economy, Finance and Industrial & Digital Sovereignty and the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Sovereignty. Looking ahead, exciting developments are on the horizon: 🔹 On April 16th, we will launch the Working Group Key Enabling Technologies, focusing on Quantum, Semiconductors and Digitalization. 🔹 In May, June And July, we’ll introduce Working Groups on Sustainable transport, Energy Transition and Food Transition, each addressing critical aspects of our shared sustainability agenda.

The UN Ocean Conference to take place in 2025 in Nice, or the yearly COPs from the UNFCCC are key moments to accelerate policies and foster cooperation. Port City actors are implementing new functions and expanding their roles to answer to these challenges. But how are they promoting innovative solutions in the port city territories? And what are their expectations for these global events led by the UN? What are the demands? During the AIVP World Conference of Lisbon 2024 we will issue a declaration gathering the expectations of port city actors on global issues. This webinar will explore innovative projects launched by the Port of Lisbon and other AIVP members and launch the first discussions, giving all interested actors time to reflect. In the webinar we will also review the program of the 19th World Conference on Cities and Ports, that will take place from 🔔 27th to the 29th of November 2024 in the 📍 Champalimaud Foundation, in Lisbon. This year's title, “Open Piers: Steering flows between people, planet, and port cities” will serve as a thread for our discussion ➕ 𝘓𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 #𝘈𝘐𝘝𝘗𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦: https://swll.to/ZNF7K3
