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.

Presentation at the TIMOR-LESTE national workshop on cross-border trade facilitation and emerging technologies (3 May 2023), explaining how two EU priorities (the eFTI regulation and an EU FEDeRATED basic data sharing architecture) will integrate electronic consignment notes into end-to-end digital supply chains where data can be accessed at the source.

This short 3-minute video recording (May 2022) illustrates a simple potential eFTI process whereby an authority “pulls” a structured eFTI dataset of information from the ERP/TMS system of a logistics service provider.  The multimodal information model and API of the EU-Gate Living Lab #17 enables transport and shipment information to be presented in multiple formats (EU Member State specific, as presented by the driver, JSON-LD, XML and in the next version (2022Q4) as a RDF/semantic endpoint).
