Our Innovation Community met on November 14th, 2024, at the BioMedizinZentrum (BMZ) in Dortmund, where over 50 representatives from our member companies came together to share ideas, address their common challenges, and shape the future of logistics. During the Ideation Workshop, seven crucial topics were identified, each aimed at advancing open source solutions for logistics. As always, our members drive these initiatives, focusing on collaboration and innovation to achieve impactful, industry-wide standards under the Open Logistics Foundation.
With the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), the European Union wants to improve the quality and security standards of digital products. In an interview, Miriam Seyffarth, Head of Political Communications at the Open Source Business Alliance, explains what the regulation means for companies and what role open source software plays.
For logistics service providers, the advantages of open source are obvious: the collaborative development of software saves costs, the software increases the user-friendliness of physical logistics and improves efficiency. Logistics IT partners, on the other hand, often fear for their market. However, open source developments offer them numerous opportunities to expand their business, retain existing customers and acquire new ones.
