On October 2, 2025, from 9:30 AM to 2:00 PM, the conference titled “ICT Strategies and Solutions for Port-Hinterland Integration in the Adriatic-Ionian Region: State of the Art and Future Perspectives” will be held at the headquarters of the Port System Authority of the Central-Northern Adriatic Sea – Port of Ravenna (Via Antico Squero, 31 – Conference Room, ground floor).

The event will take place in hybrid format (in-person and online) and is part of the 2025 Workplan of Pillar 2 – Transport of the EU Strategy for the Adriatic-Ionian Region (EUSAIR).

The conference is part of the Flagship initiative “Adriatic-Ionian Green-Smart Port Hub Concepts” and aims to stimulate dialogue among institutional, technical, and logistics-port sector stakeholders on the role of digital solutions to:

• optimize the efficiency of interconnections between port and hinterland terminals;
• strengthen dialogue and cooperation within the EUSAIR port system in the Adriatic-Ionian basin.

During the meeting, results from the Interreg Italy–Croatia project CROSSFREIGHT, dedicated to enhancing the management of railway shunting operations, will also be presented.
