PortEconomics members Peter de Langen and Jonas Mendes Constante, joined by Salvador Furió Pruñonos (Fundación Valenciaport) present the concept of innovation ecosystems in ports, its components, and the theory behind this trend that has been consolidated in recent years in ports of international reference such as Rotterdam, Valencia and Singapore.

The evolution of these three cases mentioned and of the Latin American ports with open innovation programs in progress, such as Bahía Blanca, Cartagena, Santos and Itaqui are presented in the technical note of Inter-America Development Bank and includes also a set of good practices and recommendations for those ports with an interest in boosting the formation of an ecosystem of innovation in their environment is detailed.
