Digilogic

The DIGILOGIC project, co-financed by the call bando H2020-ICT-58, initiates a strategic partnership between European and African Digital Innovation Hubs to stimulate innovation in the logistics industry, involving SMEs and technology startups from both continents.

The spread of digital solutions will also produce a chain reaction to other sectors (from agriculture to manufacturing, from local trade to e-commerce, from healthcare to mining) and will foster the growth of both large companies – such as large-scale air, sea and land freight movements, value-added services such as intelligent warehouse management and assembly – and in small and micro-enterprises active in "last mile" delivery in remote areas.

During the three-year project, the adoption of emerging technologies such as Cloud Computing, Big Data, Virtual and Augmented Reality, Machine Learning, Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Smart Devices, Internet of Things (IoT) and intelligent transport systems (ITS) will be promoted to develop smart logistics solutions, activating a two-way know-how transfer process between Europe and Africa.
