Attack your Business X smartDIVE
Business model innovations for the port industry - a cooperation between homePORT & Cross Innovation Hub
The port industry is facing major challenges. Strict environmental regulations, digitalisation, a shortage of skilled workers and intense competitive pressure are causing problems for many maritime companies. In order to develop sustainable technologies, increase efficiency and remain competitive, innovative solutions are required - both in terms of design and implementation. With us, you get both!
With innovative technologies to the harbour of the future
For the Attack your Business X smartDIVE programme, two top players in business and innovation promotion are merging: the Cross Innovation Hub of Hamburg Kreativ Gesellschaft brings companies together with the best minds in Hamburg's creative scene in open innovation formats. Interdisciplinary collaboration is used in a targeted manner to break up entrenched internal processes and allow creative impulses from outside. One of the most popular formats is Attack your Business. In just 3 workshop days, it radically scrutinises your current business model, puts it to the test in various future scenarios and collaboratively develops new, innovative approaches. Attack your Business forms the first, conceptual part of the process.
With a solution approach in the bag, the second part begins: smartDIVE - Skills Edition - carried out by tech enabler and innovation community homePORT of the HPA Hamburg Port Authority. smartDIVE focuses on the technological realisation of the developed solution ideas - with the transfer of industry-specific know-how, an MVP (Minimum Viable Product) and a well-founded market test - developed in 3 workshop days.
