PHILANTHROPY IMPACT, GEODIS Logistics 4.0 Innovation Hub

24 | BE SO BOLD

GEODIS Logistics of Plainfield, Indiana committed $150,000 to support experiential learning projects and to provide scholarships for the Operations and Supply Chain Management program through the creation of the ISU/GEODIS Logistics 4.0 Innovation Hub. The purpose of this partnership is to create opportunities for post-secondary education and, for people currently in the workforce, enhanced skills and credentialing.

This space will train people in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and the management of logistics companies. It is expected that early 2023, there will be a mini-prototype of a warehouse using robotics ready for student tours, research, and teaching.
