Project Description
In the
context of a greener, more resilient, and increasingly digitized logistics
landscape, the Digital CoLogistics Project stands as a key driver for the
comprehensive transformation of the logistics system in the North
Galicia-Portugal Euroregion. This
project focuses on activities grounded in digitization with the purpose of
enhancing competitiveness, attracting investments and large-scale logistic
projects, and progressing towards a more sustainable logistics system in
compliance with new regulatory frameworks.
Objectives
1. Transform
the logistics system to capitalize on opportunities resulting from the
redefinition of global supply chains and the localization capabilities of
industries.
2.
Implement
a digital transformation in the logistics value chain, improving its
positioning and positively impacting the environment.
3.
Increase
business sector connectivity, reducing costs, improving processes, and
facilitating access to new markets.
4.
Enhance
business competitiveness, considering logistics and connectivity as determining
factors in the location choice for new companies and industrial relocation
processes.
Activities
A1. Big Data and Artificial Intelligence
applied to business opportunity identification:
Based on the analysis of the value chains of
the main strategic sectors in the Euroregion, actions will be implemented using
Big Data and Artificial Intelligence to identify business opportunities for
boosting new logistics routes or improving existing supply chains. This will
strengthen the digital capabilities of the logistics system, positioning it as
a Digital Logistic Hub.
A2. Digital integration of the value chain:
Seeking to improve the competitiveness of
companies by optimizing their logistics processes, this activity aims to favor
the digitalization of the Euroregion's logistics chain through the digital
integration of different logistics environments and value chains that are
intensive in maritime, land, and rail logistics.
A3. Attraction of investments and major economy-driving projects with a
high logistics component:
A coordinated promotion action between
Galicia-North Portugal will be undertaken in international markets to attract
investments and major projects with a high logistics component. The goal is to
jointly offer a highly competitive logistics system.
A4. Sustainable logistics:
Promote the implementation of digital
solutions and other actions favoring the development of a more efficient,
greener, and sustainable logistics system in the Euroregion, focusing on
environmentally transforming logistics through its digital transformation.
Additionally,
two cross-cutting actions will be carried out:
A5. Project coordination:
This activity will focus on coordinating both
different activities and collaborative work among project beneficiaries,
ensuring efficient and harmonized execution.
A6. Visibility, transparency, and communication:
To inform in a timely and responsible manner,
this activity will focus on efficiently and transparently communicating the
scope of actions developed within the project framework, seeking clear and
understandable dissemination of progress and achievements.
Expected Results
The
Digital CoLogistics Project aims to position Galicia and North Portugal as the
Logistics Hub of Atlantic Europe, capitalizing on their competitive advantages
and adapting to the global redefinition of supply chains. Specific achievements include:
1. Cooperation
between Galicia and North Portugal to increase their influence area, hence
expanding the industrial and/or commercial market, adding logistics
capabilities in terms of services and logistic infrastructure.
2.
Comprehensive
transformation of the logistics system in Galicia and North Portugal through
digitization, contributing to logistics' competitiveness and reliability,
improving the positioning of the logistics system for attracting investments
and major projects with a high logistics component, and environmentally
transforming logistics to be greener and reduce the carbon footprint.
The success of the Digital CoLogistics
Project lies in its ability to catalyze significant changes in the region,
embracing the digital era, and building a more efficient, sustainable, and
globally competitive logistics system.
Contribution
Innovative Port: The project seeks to promote innovation in
logistic processes through the digital integration of the value chain and the
use of big data and artificial intelligence. The implementation of new technologies contributes to efficiency,
informed decision-making, and continuous improvement in the operation of the
Port of Vigo.
Connected Port: With the project's implementation, not only
will logistic and transport coordination and efficiency improve, but it will
also foster business connectivity and regional cooperation, strengthening
connections between various economic actors in the region.
Green Port: Its comprehensive approach aims to transform
logistics in the region, not only improving its efficiency but also ensuring
its positive contribution to environmental sustainability.
Project
funded by the EU through the Interreg Spain-Portugal Program.
