We are pleased to invite you to an exclusive webinar with Business Finland's Data Economy Program and Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland to hear about the findings from our recent study showcasing the latest developments and innovations in North America's transportation and logistics markets.

The study particularly highlights innovations, innovative technology providers, and the use of data various applications. The study focuses on recent developments in North America's transportation markets, with significant emphasis placed on the actions of the Department of Transportation, particularly its innovative public-private projects.

Beyond roads, rapid innovation is also occurring within warehouses and logistics centers. In these environments, development is almost entirely market-driven. A well-measured perspective on the latest trends has been compiled using high-status expert information sources such as industry associations, logistics magazines, the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals, and many others. Overviews of some of the most important and relevant private projects within warehouses and logistics centers will be presented in this webinar.
