51Biz Luxembourg announces its participation in the EU Funded eFTI4EU consortium(2023-2026). eFTI4EU consists of 9 EU Member States: Austria, Belgium, Estonia (Coordinator), Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Lithuania, and Portugal.

The eFTI4EU consortium is coordinated by a team of 9 eFTI experts including 51Biz Luxembourg. It is our goal to leverage the experience of the CEF EU funded consortiums FEDeRATED, including the EU-Gate OneAPP for authorities Living Lab 17, and RISCOMEX/EuRIS as an input to a European eFTi reference architecture. 51Biz will continue to have a focus on the digital integration of road transport with air-cargo and inland navigation multimodal supply chains.
