...Building Intelligent Technologies for Secure Logistics

Logistics has emerged as the new intelligence of the digital economy—synchronizing and dynamically controlling all activities along the global value chain—and establishing regions and cities as vital communities within the digital economy.

Those regions and cities that will thrive in the digital economy are those in which partnerships of industry, the public sector and universities work together to create vital and secure links to emerging global supply chains through new intelligent technologies.
