MIAMI - September 4, 2018 - (Newswire.com)
LAB Miami Ventures is proud to announce that the Future of Logistics Technology Summit will take place on November 14, 2018, from 9:00 A.M. - 6:00 P.M. at Miami’s Historic Lyric Theater. This is the first event of its kind, focusing solely on technology and how it is driving rapid and unprecedented change in the logistics and supply chain industry bringing together Ryder, DHL, UPS, Ford Autonomous and many more.
Miami is a global freight hub and number one in the nation for international freight. Trade and Logistics is an important economic engine that contributes billions of dollars and makes us the world’s largest gateway to Latin America and the Caribbean. With this in mind, LAB Miami Ventures decided to create the Future of Logistics Technology Summit to fill a void and bring together industry leaders and some of the brightest and most innovative logistics startups in the region.
The program features a curated agenda including panels on topics such as blockchain and autonomous vehicles – a startup pitch competition, and keynote speeches by leading industry disruptors. Some of our confirmed speakers include Rimas Kapeskas of the UPS Strategic Enterprise Fund, Brian Wolf of Ford Autonomous Vehicles, Karen Jones from Ryder, and Nabil Malouli of DHL, among others.
If you have a startup in the logistics, supply chain or transportation industries, and want exposure to industry leaders, apply for the startup pitch competition by October 1, 2018. 10 of the top applicants will be chosen to pitch-in-person to a distinguished investor panel, influential media, global partners, and over 300 high-level guests as well as participate in a private “speed dating” session with a curated group of investors and executives from established logistics companies.
Not only will the top 10 startups get to pitch on the big stage, they will also spend a full day at DHL's regional headquarters for the Americas. This full day will include exclusive 1-1 meetings with top decision makers from departments such as Innovation, Product, Finance and more. Meeting with all decision makers at once will give the top 10 startups a unique opportunity to accelerate commercial pilots - if you're a startup interested in working with DHL - don't miss this opportunity!
Join us and learn how technological advances are radically changing the industry landscape, and how you can stay ahead of the game.
