DIGILOGIC, a three-year Horizon 2020 project to boost cooperation and long-term, sustainable collaborations between European and African Digital Innovation Hubs (DIHs), has received EUR 1.9 million from the European Commission, paving the way for innovators, startups, and SMEs to jointly build smart logistics solutions in close collaboration with industries and investors.
The DIGILOGIC project is being implemented by a consortium that includes three DIHs in Europe: Digital Hub Logistics Dortmund (Germany), VTT (Finland), and Friuli Innovazione (Italy); two DIHs in Africa: MEST (Ghana) and BongoHive (Zambia); system change facilitator Endeva (Germany); and a SME prototype (Nigeria).
Through the implementation of a dynamic and impactful knowledge transfer process and a targe, these partners will foster the adoption of emerging technologies such as Cloud Computing, Big Data, Augmented and Virtual Reality, Machine Learning, Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Smart Devices, Internet of Things (IoT), and Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) for smart logistics solutions.
