Within this context, Mr Jimenez outlined some of the most important projects currently underway in the Port of Bilbao area, such as the electrification of the docks through the BilbOPS project, the roll-out of renewable energy, the development of alternative fuels, the production of renewable hydrogen, e-fuels, circular economy initiatives and projects linked to the green steel industry.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Jimenez argued that ports are transitioning from their traditional role as logistics infrastructure to a broader role as platforms connecting industry, energy, innovation and the local region. \u201cThe major challenge is no longer simply about reducing emissions. The real challenge is coordinating multiple stakeholders to move forward together towards a sustainable transition that combines competitiveness, resilience and environmental sustainability\u201d, he stated. He also highlighted the commitment of the Port of Bilbao to developing a Smart Energy Hub, integrating electrification, the production of renewable energy, energy storage, smart energy management and open innovation, as well as the role of BilbaoPortLab as a collaborative innovation platform to roll out real-world solutions in the port environment.<\/p>\n<p><\/div><div class=\"one_half column-last bbcol\"><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"thickbox\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bilbaoport.eus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Comision-Arco-Atlantico-Ivan-Jimenez-Quebec.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"thickbox alignnone wp-image-54295 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bilbaoport.eus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Comision-Arco-Atlantico-Ivan-Jimenez-Quebec.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"792\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>During the event, the president of the Bilbao Port Authority also spoke of new opportunities for collaboration between Qu\u00e9bec and Bilbao in areas such as open innovation, experimental labs, industrial descarbonisation, digitalisation, green shipping corridors and Atlantic innovation ecosystems. \u201cThe next phase of transatlantic cooperation involves innovating together. Ports can become strategic platforms for connecting industry, energy, knowledge and innovation on both sides of the Atlantic,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<p>The session was attended by representatives from the Port of Qu\u00e9bec, the International Association of Cities and Ports (AIVP), the Green Alliance, the Port of Santander and the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region, among other institutional and economic stakeholders linked to the Atlantic region.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Atlantic Arc Commission<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Atlantic Arc Commission, part of the Conference of Peripheral Maritime
