Last week, AUTOSUP participated in the ALICE Logistics Innovation Summit 2025 in Brussels, presenting our vision for safe, interoperable, and trustworthy automated logistics systems.
At the exhibition area, the AUTOSUP booth provided an excellent opportunity to exchange insights, engage with stakeholders, and discuss the future of automated logistics across Europe.
Contributions to the Conference Programme
During the event, the AUTOSUP project was featured prominently on stage:
- Project overview and progress
Dirk Staelens from VIL (Flanders Innovation Cluster for Logistics) presented the objectives and ongoing work of AUTOSUP, highlighting the project’s role in the automation of multimodal supply chains. - Panel: “From data to decisions: AI and Digital Twins in the Physical Internet era”
AUTOSUP project coordinator Ioanna Fergadiotou (INLECOM) emphasized the importance of collaboration between European R&I projects to accelerate innovation and ensure interoperability across digital and physical systems. - Panel: “The rise of automation in logistics”
Karen Van Brussel from the Port of Antwerp-Bruges shared practical insights into real-world automation initiatives, demonstrating how ports and logistics hubs are advancing toward smarter, more connected operations.
Strengthening Cross-Project Collaboration
AUTOSUP was also pleased to support the launch of ALICE’s new Automation Community, a cross-project initiative aimed at fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange among European research and innovation projects working on logistics automation. This aligns closely with AUTOSUP’s ambition to build shared frameworks and accelerate Europe’s transition to automated, multimodal freight systems.
