CODE Launches LogisTech Challenge to Boost Innovation in the Sector

The Ministry of Communications and Information Technology's Center of Digital Entrepreneurship (CODE), in partnership with the Ministry of Transport and Logistic Services, the Transport General Authority, Infinite pl, and Logistics, has launched the LogisTech Challenge, which aims to foster innovation in the logistics sector by supporting the development of new technological solutions that enhance the sector's efficiency and productivity, thus driving the growth of the digital economy.
The challenge is open to logistics technology enthusiasts, experts, and industry decision makers. Registration is now open and will close on December 5.
After registration, participants will progress through several stages: acceptance, business model development, final selection, and a training bootcamp.
The competition will culminate on January 21, when participants will present their ideas and projects to a panel of judges. The winning projects, which offer practical solutions to the sector's challenges, will be recognized in a final ceremony.
The challenge focuses on three main tracks: fleet improvement and sustainability, alternative delivery and commerce solutions, and data-driven logistics intelligence.
To empower participants, the LogisTech Challenge offers over 20 training programs and mentoring sessions, equipping over 250 participants with the necessary skills and offering them guidance to refine their ideas and develop prototypes.
The Ministry of Communications and Information Technology encourages all interested individuals to join the challenge and register via the link:
