Co-hosted by NEXUS Agenda and D2XCEL, this two-day event will explore how digitalization, decarbonization, sustainability, and security are driving transformation in Sustainable Transport, Trade Logistics, and Infrastructure – with a strong focus on innovation, collaboration, and real-world applications.
The conference gathers over 150 carefully selected port authorities, policymakers, corporations, cities, investors, and ventures from Sustainable Transport, Trade Logistics, and Infrastructure.
The NEXUS AGENDA and D2XCEL share a strong focus on driving innovation, sustainability, and digital transformation. Bringing together extensive networks of industry leaders, investors, and technology experts to collaborate on developing advanced solutions that support decarbonization, smart mobility, and resilient supply chains.

The NEXUS AGENDA was selected under the Mobilising Agendas for Business Innovation of the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR), and aims to create an ecosystem of 28 products and services for the Digital and Green Transition in the transport and multimodality sector. Headed by the Port of Sines, it comprises 35 partners sharing the ambition to develop innovative solutions aiming at achieving both a Green and Digital Transition Agenda. Representative of the whole value chain, the consortium gathers port authorities, maritime, terminal and railway operators, carriers, dry ports, logistics operators, technology suppliers, importers and exporters, being supported by universities and research institutes, whose skills and expertise will pay an important role on the fulfilment of this pioneering Agenda.

D2XCEL is a collaborative pan-European scaling programme, bringing together a top-tier industry network of 300+ investors, public and private lead customers, and innovation hubs to support deep tech and digital ventures. We holistically mentor the selected ventures and connect them with investors, lead customers and other growth opportunities to strengthen Europe’s leadership and sustainable growth in key sectors such as Transport, Logistics, Trade, and Smart Cities.
