Innovation Endeavors and Sidewalk Infrastructure Partners have partnered to form Link, an initiative that brings together global companies like PepsiCo and Starbucks to accelerate innovation in the world’s supply chain. Other companies involved include BMW, DHL, Georgia Pacific, and USPS.
Link seeks to facilitate collaboration and enable the creation of cross-industry partnerships to bridge silos between companies, expand the sample size of valuable consumer data, link each phase of the supply chain process, and introduce small startups to large corporations to provide innovators opportunities to gain traction in the market.
“The global COVID-19 crisis has now put a spotlight on this long-standing problem: supply chains operate as disparate, disconnected nodes rather than as a cohesive and collaborative ecosystem,” Link said in a statement. “If companies are brought together to collaborate around shared data and information, leverage predictive technology, and deploy novel designs and infrastructure, they can create a supply chain that is both resilient and efficient while meeting the needs of rapid, online delivery.”
