On 23rd-24th October, TRANSCEND participated in ALICE Logistics Innovation Summit 2025 held in Brussels at Tangla Hotel, ALICE’s annual two-day conference made of high-level discussions, expert-led thematic sessions, and interactive networking opportunities.

OPEN ENLoCC and LIST presented TRANSCEND project among the exhibitors to key logistics experts, policymakers and industry stakeholders joining the summit from Europe and Asia. It was a great opportunity to exchange knowledge and share more about the project activities and how they aim to contribute to increase the resilience of critical infrastructure.

Cindy Guerlain from LIST presented the main highlights of the project in the session “Resilience multimodal networks and Inland Waterways Transport”, together with sister projects such as ReMuNet and SARIL. The conference has been a main event for projects to get insights from other partners.

As a Horizon Europe project focused on increasing the resilience of critical infrastructure, TRANSCEND brought its experience to the workshop presenting the major solutions being developed by its partners and their work in the pilot actions.

The ALICE Logistics Innovation Summit 2025 revealed to be a key stage to bring the TRANSCEND project to a high-level audience and engage with major stakeholders in the logistics sectors.

A great thank to ALICE team for the organisation of this event and to all the participants who got to know about the TRANSCEND project!

Rationale

Ensuring the resilience of Critical Infrastructures (CIs), particularly in the transport sector, has become increasingly vital. Today, there is a strong emphasis on securing information systems and effectively managing risks that could disrupt these essential services. Moreover, CIs are becoming progressively more interdependent across sectors; for example, energy is essential for telecommunications, which in turn supports logistics and transport operations. This growing interconnectedness increases systemic complexity and makes CIs more vulnerable to sophisticated cyber-physical attacks. As a result, understanding and modelling dependencies both across different sectors and domains, and within operators of the same CI, is not only required by regulations, but also crucial for improving preparedness, risk management, and coordinated incident response.

Objective

 The primary objective of the ecosystem modelling module is to analyse an ecosystem surrounding a CI as a whole and to provide the foundations for simulating potential impacts on the resilience of a supply chain composed of multiple entities (both internal and external to the CI) by propagating risk consequences across dependencies (domino effect).
