BISCI to join Topsector Logistiek Conference

The new Brightlands Institute for Supply Chain Innovation (BISCI) will be represented at this year’s Topsector Logistiek conference in Rotterdam on Tuesday, April 16. The event focuses on the challenges facing the logistics industry, including Brexit and the climate agreement.

One of the keynote speakers will be Netherlands Minister of Infrastructure and Water Management, Cora van Nieuwenhuizen. There will be speeches, presentations and break-out sessions on a range of topics such as: data sharing, social innovation, artificial intelligence, CO2 reduction, chain management and cooperation, physical internet and intelligent access.

The conference will be attended by more than 1000 industry representatives, government officials, academic researchers and other professionals. It provides an excellent occasion for a new institute like BISCI to meet potential partners and build up its network.
