DIGILOGIC

The diffusion of digital solutions will trigger a chain reaction benefiting other sectors as well (from agriculture to manufacturing, from local commerce to e-commerce, from healthcare to mining) and will foster growth in both large enterprises—for example, large-scale movements of goods by air, sea, and land, and value-added services such as intelligent warehouse management and assembly—and in small and micro-enterprises involved in "last-mile" delivery in remote areas.

Within 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, initiating a process of bidirectional knowledge transfer between Europe and Africa facilitated by the partners.
