Kick-Off Event The first master class is on January 27, 2027
Develop. Test. Validate.
Build a prototype in the makerspace, test it in the 5G test bed under port conditions, and validate it with real users. All in one place. Short distances between these steps significantly shorten your development cycles.
Faster Time to Market
The CellPort Masterclass helps technology-focused startup teams test innovative hardware, 5G, and smart logistics solutions under real-world conditions and bring them to market faster.
Local Infrastructure and Expertise
Take advantage of the 5G test bed at the Duisburg Multimodal Terminal at logport VI, develop prototypes in our workspace, and benefit from scientific expertise and a strong network of industry partners, researchers, and investors.
Direct Access to the Market
CellPort provides access to real-world applications in the port, logistics, and industrial sectors and connects startups directly with potential customers, technology partners, research institutions, and investors.
The 5G Test Bed at the Duisburg Multimodal Terminal
Testing technologies where they will eventually be deployed: in a modern, demanding logistics environment. The 5G test bed at the Duisburg Multimodal Terminal at logport VI in Duisburg-Walsum offers the opportunity to develop, test, and validate innovative applications under real-world conditions.
Possible areas of application:
Industrial Wireless, Industrial IoT, Smart Logistics, Industry 4.0
Sensors and Networked Hardware
Autonomous and semi-autonomous systems
AI-based applications
Semiconductor and Communications Technologies
Solutions for Infrastructure and Facility Monitoring
In the test environment, you’ll put the prototype you developed in the makerspace through its paces under realistic port logistics conditions. This isn’t a theoretical test scenario—it’s directly relevant to real-world applications. You’ll gain early access to potential users and receive direct feedback from the field.
The CellPort Master Class
A 12-month program in which startup teams focus on addressing technological, strategic, and entrepreneurial challenges. Experienced experts mentor the teams and connect them with partners from the business, academic, and financial sectors. There is a three-month overlap between batches, allowing teams from different rounds to network with one another.
Workspace & Makerspace
Technical infrastructure for hardware teams to develop, adapt, and refine prototypes from the initial design through to a functional demonstrator.
Equipment: 3D printers for various materials and applications, CNC milling machines, metal milling machines, laser cutters, soldering and electronics workstations, tools for assembly, customization, and repair, work surfaces for assembly and prototyping
