Industry leaders gathered at the Drone Horizon 2025, enabling professionals from the maritime and logistics sectors to come together and explore innovative solutions for skills development. Focused on the digital and green transitions, the event has set the grounds for strategic collaboration and knowledge exchange to shape the future of workforce up-skilling in a rapidly evolving industry.
WAM Foundation has organised the workshop “Skills-Based Learning, Microcredentials and Workforce Transformation” looking at how microcredentials can support more flexible, agile and industry led training and skills development initiatives.
The DroneHorizon 2025 has been organised by DronePort, leading think tank and innovation player for the ecosystem of the Port of Rotterdam. For further information, we invite you to check the full programme, and the official website of the organisers.
WAM has been present with a booth also at Innovation Dock at the World Port Days on 5th September 2025.
DroneHorizon (4 September) and the Innovation Dock (5 September) differ in format and focus, but are deliberately designed to reinforce one another. DroneHorizon is platform for knowledge exchange and international matchmaking, focused on (AUS) innovation and strategic discussion, while the Innovation Dock – taking place at the World Port Days (continuing on 6 and 7 September) – offers a curated B2B and B2G space for showcasing innovation, demonstrations, and ecosystem engagement.
With over 400,000 people visit the World Port Days, this dedicated innovation zone brings together governments, companies, and innovators to work on the systems that will define tomorrow’s ports and industrial regions.
DronePort Rotterdam & WAM Foundation
DroneHorizon 2025 will host the ceremony for the signature of the Memorandum of Understanding between DronePort Rotterdam and WAM Foundation, focused on the innovation of skills development in the unmanned and autonomous systems, introducing microcredentials as a preferential channel for industry-led, inclusive and flexible training offerings.
