imec Future Summits: VIL break-out

 

Future logistics will be founded on a global open system of systems enabling assets and resources in logistics networks to be interconnected facilitating their use to the maximum capacity and productivity while increasing agility and resilience of supply chains.
We call this vision the Physical Internet (PI) and it will support the affordable transition of assets towards Zero Emission Logistics.

VIL organizes a break-out session during imec’s Future Summits on May 18. This session illustrates how VIL and the logistics stakeholders closely collaborate and join forces to make Flanders the first region where this view will be turned into a reality.
