Logistics Industry Advancements: Traveling from Bremen to Silicon Valley in March 2025
In March 2025, a delegation led by Senator Kristina Vogt, Minister of Economy, Ports, and Transformation, embarked on a journey to Silicon Valley. The aim of this trip, which took place from the 16th to the 21st of March, was to delve into innovation and technological advancements, with a particular focus on areas related to logistics and digital transformation.
The trip was organised by the Northern Germany Innovation Office (NGIO) and the WFB Economics Development Corporation Bremen GmbH, under the brand "Bremeninvest". The NGIO, a joint initiative of Bremen, Schleswig-Holstein, and Hamburg, aims to establish partnerships, technology transfer, and contacts between Northern Germany and the most technologically innovative regions in the USA.
The focus of the Bremen delegation's visit was on artificial intelligence (AI) in the logistics industry. AI solutions are seen as offering immense potential to make logistics processes more efficient and environmentally friendly. The trip provided an insight into the highly dynamic innovation processes that have made Silicon Valley famous as a high-tech hub.
The delegation's itinerary included exploring various AI approaches in logistics, such as the optimization of last-mile logistics, intelligent route planning and optimization, predictive data analytics, and the implementation of AI-based robotics systems in warehouse logistics.
Sustainable supply chain design was also a focus of the trip. The goal was to strengthen existing cooperations, exchange knowledge, and secure the competitiveness of the Bremen logistics industry.
Interested Bremen companies were invited to participate in the trip. However, due to limited spaces, the number of participants was capped at 25. Participants were expected to bear the costs for arrival and departure, flights, and accommodation themselves.
The Bremen delegation's visit to Silicon Valley is part of a growing engagement with mathematical intelligence and autonomous systems, which are closely related fields to AI in logistics. Additional context from related Bremen initiatives in technology and autonomous systems indicates a keen interest in these cutting-edge technologies.
