This unique characteristic of MSCF especially targets startups with innovative technologies and business models that have the potential to tackle issues in the logistics and supply chain sector.

Having honed their combination optimization algorithms for over a decade, Optimind has been delivering advanced solutions aimed at enhancing the productivity of the entire supply chain, focusing primarily on large shippers and logistics firms.
