Silicon Economy Ökosystem
Initiative overview
The Silicon Economy Ecosystem is a research project funded by the German Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport. It focuses on developing AI-based solutions that allow logistics companies to intelligently automate business processes across the supply chain. By creating standardized components and interfaces, the project helps companies of all sizes adopt advanced logistics technologies efficiently.
Key objectives include:
- Developing data models and AI-based software/hardware components to automate supply chain operations
- Making all tools and components open-source and freely available to companies
- Supporting digital transformation and innovation in the logistics sector
The initiative encourages collaboration between research institutions, technology providers, and logistics companies, ensuring that solutions are practical and scalable. By providing free access to high-quality AI components, the project lowers the barrier to adoption, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises.
Future outlook:
- Broader adoption of AI-enabled logistics solutions across the supply chain
- Continued development of open-source tools for process automation
- Strengthening Germany’s digital and AI capabilities in transport and logistics
