A WORD FROM THE PROJECT TEAM.

“I’ve learned a lot from the way of working at KLM. And thanks to the effo rt of the innovation managers we were focussed from start to finish. The team respected the different perspectives that we had.”

“I learnt about the working of Freight transports and the importance of sustainability in the process. With the Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) programme already underway, I really hope KLM Cargo is able to lead the way towards lower CO2 emissions in air travels.”

“Thanks to the fruitful collaboration with the students of the University of Twente, we now have achieved a strategic stepping stone from which further data analytics solutions can evolve.

The students have converted our own prototypes into a sizeable architecture, demonstrating the ease of adding new rules and analytics. From here, we will be able to pursue our data analytics journey in a much faster pace than originally anticipated.”

“It was amazing to see how a corporate innovation hub and an academic design lab can inspire each other, helping each other in expanding data science and machine learning capabilities and experiencing a real life business problem and solving business requirements respectively.”

“This project taught me that even within a company that operates on a scale as large as KLM, a small team with good ideas can still have significant impact.”

“Against all odds, we made it!”
