Note Address |
Two remarkable trends-
fast evolving networking technologies and
the exploding growth of trade across national
borders- are taking us into a world of
synchronized commerce; a world where the
flow of goods, information and funds are
converging. What are the trends in software
development, networking, and security applications
in the logistics industry that will drive
innovation in this new world? How might
businesses capitalize upon these developments?
How might the new ground rules and the
possibilities of synchronized commerce
cause us to rethink some long-held assumptions
about global supply chains? With Atlanta
and Georgia as a Center of Excellence and
net exporter of innovation in the logistics
industry, what are the implications for
future economic growth for the region?
Join
the MIT Enterprise Forum of Atlanta (MITEF)
and Technology Association of Georgia
(TAG) in conjunction with The Maritime
Logistics Innovation Center for a highly
practical, yet innovative and dynamic
conference that will answer these and
other questions. Learn about opportunities
for innovation and new business development
in the technologies that drive the logistics
industry. Listen to what the best minds
from around the state and the nation
say is necessary to continue to drive
innovation and development.
