The Smart Ports Chair at the Universitat Jaume I has been awarded the 2025 Faro Innovation Prize by the Port Authority of Castelló, in recognition of its leadership in port digitization, sustainability and the transformation toward smarter and more efficient infrastructures. Presented during a ceremony on June 12, the award highlights the Chair’s pioneering role as the first university initiative in Spain dedicated exclusively to the development of smart ports. Its director, Francisco Toledo, emphasized that the recognition motivates new initiatives, such as the upcoming launch of a national think tank on smart ports, and reaffirmed the Chair’s collaborative philosophy of working hand in hand with universities, port authorities and companies.

Since its establishment in 2023, the Chair has promoted applied research, knowledge transfer and academic excellence through specialized conferences, awards for outstanding university work, and the dissemination of key regulations such as the UNE 178110:2024 standard on smart ports and the European AI Act. The jury praised its strong network of public and private collaborators, including over a dozen industry and institutional partners, and its effective communication strategy, which has helped build a professional community committed to innovation in the port sector. Rubén Ibáñez, president of the Port Authority of Castelló, also praised the Chair’s contribution to fostering inclusive and sustainable port management and closer integration between the port and the city.
