Harbours, growth and ideas
A pontoon with a story
The harbour setting is part of the Hub’s character. Here we explore both what shaped Rotterdam and new ways of using the city. Microgreens offer a small-scale example of growing food in an urban environment. The mini-museum will explore the development of the Maritime District.
This makes the Hub a place for questions, ideas and shared experiences. It is also a practical space you can request for an exclusive gathering.
Three parts, one place

Your gathering
Plan a team session, presentation or private get-together for up to twelve people. Hire the space for a morning, afternoon or evening, with Wi-Fi, a screen and a flip chart included. A mandatory refreshments package applies; lunch or a sharing platter can be added.
