20.11.2019: Meet the Buyer event - Blue Gate Antwerp

Venue: Paleis 10, Avenue de Miramar 11, 1020 Brussels (Belgium)

Innovation and needs of our buyer

Blue Gate Antwerp (BGA) is the climate neutral business park reserved for innovative companies with a well-defined ambition: linear growth through circular operations. site is located just next to Antwerp.

It is BGA’s ambition to develop a mobility hub on the site, that supports an evolution to fossil free and shared mobility services for the site as well as towards the city.

Logistics is to be shared by the companies on-site to reduce (half) empty rides of the trucks. Also, if possible, several companies can load the same truck to go to the city instead of several trucks. Shared cars can be used on-site, but will probably be more used by city of Antwerp, so in this way Blue Gate shares their parking and loading facilities with the city. The mobility hub must operate on fossil free fuels and in the future will completely consist of autonomous vehicles (for now this is not a necessity, however the infrastructure has to be ready/adjustable).

See the buyer profile for more information.
