People say it far too rarely, which is why we are now taking advantage of our 5-year anniversary and saying: Thank you for the great cooperation over the past few months & years!

You've been involved in our journey and now we're standing here and can proudly celebrate our 5th anniversary. It was certainly not always easy: We too have experienced and are still experiencing turbulent times during the Corona crisis and yet we can now look back proudly on our experiences and past projects.

Our story began with the opening of our coworking and event space in the Werhahnmühle and will forever be a memorable memory, as it represents the founding of our company. But organising the first European Logistics Innovation Day (ELID for short) at Signal Iduna Park in digital form was also a motivating push in 2020. We will also never forget the venerable day on which we had a distinguished visit from Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier to our premises in the inner harbor. In the end, we didn't stop there either, but started a new series of local events with FUTURE logistics at the Duisburg Inland Shipping Museum, which was very well received by you with around 400 visitors.

Now let's take a look at a few exciting figures from the past few years:

  • > 100 startups in 7 batches
  • 45 partners in the network
  • 6 investor days
  • 7 pitches in front of juries
  • > 50 events
  • 10 StartPort team members

This is where the short journey through time comes to an end and we are looking forward to many years of further cooperation and exciting future projects. Once again this year, we cordially invite you to take part in the third digital ELID to participate. About linkedin Find out the latest announcements of exciting formats and always stay up to date.
