On the 18th of February, logistics experts gathered at Procter & Gamble in Brussels for the closing event of the PILL and SYTADEL projects, funded by VLAIO – Flanders Innovation & Entrepreneurship.
These 2 groundbreaking Flemish research and innovation projects have laid the foundation for an interconnected and efficient logistics ecosystem through innovative data-sharing ecosystems, advanced technologies, and collaborative frameworks.
This event, co-organized by imec and VIL Flanders Innovation Cluster for Logistics, in collaboration with Vrije Universiteit Brussel, University of Antwerp and Vlerick Business School, showcased the realisation of a connected, synchromodal logistics network and blueprint for the Physical internet that might contribute to a radically more resilient and efficient supply chain.
VIL was honored to share AUTOSUP’s vision through a live elevator pitch and engaging conversations, where we explored new pathways for automation and innovation, enabling the shift of supply chain nodes to hubs in a Physical Internet logistics network.
