WHY
Coronavirus crisis threw into sharp contrast profound issues that the Logistics industry has been dealing with for years, and at the same time, it highlighted critical new opportunities. A fresh perspective, new creativity, and new level of collaboration are necessary for every company and organization involved in Logistics, and Hack Logistics is the open forum for accelerating that.
ABOUT
Hack Logistics is an Open Innovation event aimed at creating ingenious, unorthodox solutions for everyone involved in Logistics or impacted by Logistics problems, from cities to transport companies. Its purpose is is to help you to come up with new ideas, explore new business models and new technologies, and immediately test these ideas with your fellow participants. You’ll also forge new collaborations to help you start implementing your ideas the day after the event.
