FLOW: Freight Logistics Optimization Works

Thanks Supply Chain Dive for a look back at the growth of FLOW: Freight Logistics Optimization Works this last year. From a piece of paper in 2022, to an ecosystem of public and private partners solving real problems in global logistics today, we've shown that in a new era of industrial strategy we can create partnerships between sectors for national benefit. More to come this week on the future of U.S supply chain industrial base.

I really appreciated the opportunity last week to gather for a peer exchange with Transport Canada’s new Supply Chain Office along with the Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation, the St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation, the Port of Montreal, and other Canadian port leaders. We discussed our shared transportation infrastructure and how to collaborate to strengthen the resilience of our supply chains. We also had a deep-dive discussion on digital and data initiatives, including FLOW: Freight Logistics Optimization Works. Thank you to Julie Gascon, Robert Dick, Adam T. and Jim Athanasiou for your leadership and partnership!

Thanks, Prologis, for the shout out on how the FLOW: Freight Logistics Optimization Works public private partnership benefits the US supply chain. Chris Caton Eric Tsang Alexis Moch have been great partners since day one.
