Jorge Marcos, Head of Opentop, participated in Manifest 2026, one of the premier international events for the logistics and supply chain sector. Held February 9-11 in Las Vegas, Manifest brings together global supply chain companies, innovators, and cutting-edge technology providers.
Jorge Marcos participated in the panel "Real Use Cases of Next Gen Technologies for Efficiencies at a Port Level" alongside industry leaders Ann Lee Carpenter (Braid Theory), Gustavo Grande (Port of Miami), Ben Hart (Utah Inland Port Authority), and Nissan Levy (Ashdod Port Company).
The session sparked considerable interest from attendees eager to understand how ports are moving beyond pilot projects to implement technologies that deliver measurable efficiency gains.
A standout moment was the conversation about Opentop's matchmaking service, our systematic approach to connecting innovative startups with the real, specific needs of port operators and logistics companies.
A key differentiator was Opentop's role within the Port Innovators Network (PIN), a global alliance of 10 port innovation hubs.
The conversations at Manifest reinforced a crucial insight: the future of port innovation is collaborative. Port authorities increasingly recognize that sharing best practices, co-developing solutions, and leveraging each other's innovation ecosystems accelerates progress for everyone.
The connections made at Manifest 2026 open possibilities for expanding Opentop's matchmaking services and deepening our collaboration with global supply chain innovators.
For startups looking to enter the port-logistics sector, and for port operators seeking validated innovation partners, the message from Las Vegas is clear: the matchmaking model works.
