The goal is also to inform the companies of the new developments in R&D in the field of transport and logistics and in addition, to define a program to support the setting up of innovative, knowledge-based companies. The general goal is to establish the foundations to develop an innovative culture in Aragon companies within the logistics sector in such a way that they can develop their technology capacity and vitality in the long term.
