Wow, what a week! Now, during my train ride towards Paris I look back on a great experience. It was the most densely packed week of 2024, although it didn't feel so. Here's the high level overview of what happened: 🗓️ April 15 marked the beginning of Singapore Maritime Week (SMW) and I met with friends and colleagues from RISE Research Institutes of Sweden, VTT, A*STAR - Agency for Science, Technology and Research's IHPC and supported us throughout the week. At the center was the virtual watch tower / VWT, the cargo owner-driven and terminal-centric project for improves disruption and carbon footprint management. On Monday, we detailed out the plan for the next 12 months. 🗓️ April 16, we showcased the VWT solution at the PSA headquarters. Except one little glitch - it was live - it worked out well and we had useful responses from the invitees, which for example included the Digital Container Shipping Association (DCSA). The solution could also be seen at the A*STAR booth at SMW. Also, RISE, VTT, and A*STAR signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) at the Residence of the Ambassador of Sweden to Singapore April 17. 🗓️ April 17, a group of members of the The European Freight and Logistics Leaders' Forum (F&L) gathered at H-FARM in Treviso, Italy. As Ambassador F&L, I was very pleased to listen to explanations of companies like Procter & Gamble and MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company to learn more about their amazing change initiatives and innovation. The message was clear. Change in the supply chain industry will not only come but has already arrived. The sector needs to respond. 🗓️ April 18, a group of logistics experts and practitioners met in a small town near Weimar, Germany for an informal dinner conversation about the state of the logistics market in Germany. The situation is not easy and there is need for Germany to find its way back to a stronger economic growth path. 🗓️ April 19: Gipfel der Logistikweisen took place in Freyburg. We discussed economic and political challenges shaping the German logistics industry with digitalization and talent high on the agenda. This time, we intensely discussed sustainability regulation to find ways to avoid that this necessary exercise does not become a bureaucratic monster but a driver of positive change. Christian Kille and Markus Meissner - Thanks for keeping us going over so many years. 🗓️ April 20: A team of Geopost veterans met in Frankfurt. It felt like yesterday. It was that team that created Europe's largest ground parcel network on the back of the DPD platform. GeoPost is an awesome success story and we are proud that we have been at its origin. We are wishing all those that run it now in Europe and across the world continuous success. Photo: Wolfgang Lehmacher #winningteam #logistics #supplychains #sustainability #collaboration
