Logistics Ecosystem

Goal of the TopCorrdiors Programme:

"We are committed to creating and strengthening an optimal number of connections between the networks and modalities on the corridors (transport perspective) and between the networks and the region (economic perspective). We do this through a market-oriented focus on six 'above-average' nodes. We also focus on improving the flow of freight corridors and service to users (traffic perspective)."

PIONEERS - PORTable Innovation Open Network for Efficiency and Emissions Reduction Solutions, addresses the challenges faced by European ports to reduce their environmental impact while remaining competitive in a sector characterised by continuous growth.

To make the Logistics Ecosystem of Venlo more resilient against supply chain disruptions and develop generic supply chain resilience strategies and capabilities such as digital, collaboration and asset-based. The project is led by BISCI/UM with close support from BISCI partners Fontys and TNO. The outcome of this project at the end of four years is a better understanding of supply chain risk management and resilience; development of models and tools to strengthen resilience capabilities in the supply chain. 

In August 2020 several companies, amongst them vidaXL, Moonen Packaging, Seacon Logistics, Arvato Supply Chain Solutions and Brightlands Institute for Supply Chain Innovation (BISCI), joined together to create Supply Chain Valley (SCV). The SCV is a collaboration that seeks to work with government, companies and academia to deliver joint goals that result in great outcomes for all involved and the wider environment, society and economy.
