Endow and donate
Good for the industry.
In the interest of all.
Open source in logistics:
Common good and industry welfare at the same time.
The open source approach of the Open Logistics Foundation is committed to both the common good and the welfare of the industry:
- Promoting technological innovations in an open and collaborative environment, leading to the creation of de-facto standards that are crucial for the industry and, therefore, enabling more efficient and sustainable supply chains
- Expansion of exchange and cooperation between companies across national borders with the aim of strengthening global supply chains
- Strengthening research and development so that innovations and trends in logistics and supply chain management are recognised in time and implemented in a targeted manner
- Improving digital education and attracting skilled labour to shape and drive the digital and green transformation
By publishing the results of open source projects, the source code of software and hardware becomes a public good that can be used permanently by the entire industry and the general public, similar to transport infrastructure.
Strengthening the industry through endowments.
Entrepreneurs who identify with the goals of the Open Logistics Foundation in a special way and pursue similar goals in their own company have the opportunity to make an endowment. In doing so, you are not only investing in the future of the Foundation but also in the future of logistics and, ultimately, in your own company.
We are looking forward to meeting personalities from companies that want to combine economic and social commitment and contribute to strengthening the logistics sector and, thus, the state and society. As an endower, you will join a lively and inspiring network of international and innovative companies investing in the future of logistics. You will be invited to selected network events and regularly informed about progress.
We would be happy to discuss your commitment and the modalities of an endowment with you personally. Contact us!
