As part of the Erasmus+ AI4YE (Artificial Intelligence for Young Entrepreneurs) project, a company visit was organized at Eurotransit Group Srl, a national and international container shipping company based in San Ferdinando, near the port of Gioia Tauro, one of the main logistics hubs in the Mediterranean.
The visit provided an important opportunity to learn more about intelligent logistics and the practical application of artificial intelligence in freight transport and management. Eurotransit collaborates with major operators in the sector, including Ocean Network Express (ONE), the seventh-largest shipping company in the world, which has initiated the large-scale adoption of smart containers equipped with IoT and AI technologies, real-time tracking systems, and advanced sensors developed in partnership with Sony Network Communications Europe.
Eurotransit Group is integrated into this technologically advanced supply chain, operating nationally and internationally with tracking and management systems that leverage data generated by these technologies. This approach enables more transparent, efficient, and sustainable logistics, where artificial intelligence is central to predictive analytics, route optimization, and proactive shipment management.
Another key aspect of the visit was the interaction with young entrepreneurs and professionals who actively contribute to the company’s growth, demonstrating how innovation is not only technological but also cultural and generational.
This experience strengthened the connection between technology and youth entrepreneurship, offering a concrete example of how artificial intelligence can create new economic and professional opportunities through the integration of intelligent systems in key sectors such as logistics, in line with global digital transformations, becoming role models for a modern, competitive, and forward-looking economy.
