- High-level engagement with key stakeholders, including government representatives, IT providers, business directors, data professionals, and more.
Why It Matters: The Power of Digitalisation in Logistics
Digitalisation is the backbone of resilient, agile logistics. The BDI Summit shows how digital transformation can:
1. Streamline Data Sharing Across the Supply Chain
The Basic Data Infrastructure framework enables 24/7 system interoperability, making data exchange seamless and bounded by need-to-know access, thereby reducing manual communication breakdowns.
2. Empower Efficiency and Trust
Digital infrastructure supports automated notifications, secure data flows, and digital proof of transactions, all of which contribute to transparency and trust across partners.
3. Drive Innovation with Real-World Application
From agrifood traceability that hits environmental goals to construction emissions monitoring and port logistics enhancements, BDI opens doors to smarter, sustainable operations.
4. Build Governance and Collaboration
Breakout sessions, such as “Governance of the BDI,” explore how to create stakeholder-driven governance, ensuring longevity and adaptability in a diverse ecosystem.
5. Fast-Track Prototyping and Adoption
Sessions like “Creating BDI on the spot” show how you can develop a working federated BDI prototype in a matter of hours, with AI-powered tools guiding the process. The BDI adoption journey further includes immersive workshops, “ready-in-a-day” sessions, and incubator support for MVP development.
Who Should Attend?
The summit attracts a broad and influential audience, such as:
- Business leaders from logistics, construction, agrifood, IT service providers, shippers, and carriers.
- Data-sharing innovators: government representatives, IT professionals, and participants from the DIL Living Labs.
- Media and industry analysts focusing on IT, logistics, agrifood, and data-sharing innovations.
