The event will be held in Taranto, hosted by “Pietro Acclavio Library”.

SMARTPORT Project aims to enhance South Adriatic and Ionian ports’ energy profile by introducing eco-sustainable LED lighting system through 6-month long pilot actions and adopting new and efficient energy strategies that, following the European standards, combine the use of renewable energy sources, energy saving, energy storage and smart grid technologies.
