In order to participate at the initiative, members must present Hard/Soft technologies with an existing installation in minimum one site for the last (2) two years. Laboratory/ factory tests in the pipeline as well as theories will not be considered. Members that chose to participate should submit a PowerPoint presentation of maximum (10) ten slides exemplifying the technology with additional explanations.

The panel of judges will comprise of 4/5 port end users such as terminal operators like APMT, DPWorld, PSA, Hutchinson, CMA who will receive the presentations and analyse them. Among all the participants, (3) three will be selected as winners.

Winners will have the opportunity to present their technologies at the PEMA Autumn Meeting 2019 in Marseille, France in front of more than 120 industry delegates.
