“We are delighted to support the growth of RTI Blockchain and are excited about the innovative approaches the team has developed for the logistics sector,” said Bertrand Van Leersum and Simone Brummelhuis of Borski Fund. “Our investment in RTI Blockchain reflects our commitment to investing in technologies that have a positive impact on various industries and the use of reusable assets.”
This investment will enable RTI Blockchain to develop and expand its innovative technological solution for managing reusable load carriers further, strengthen its position in the logistics sector, and extend its reach internationally. Through its dashboard, companies in the supply chain can gain more control over cost management in their logistics process, easily track items, and comply with future legislation on the mandatory registration of load carriers.
“This investment marks a significant milestone in the growth of RTI Blockchain,” said Milou Klooster and Yves du Bois, founders of RTI Blockchain. “We look forward to working with partners who share our vision and will help us transform the logistics sector through effective technology in digital load carrier management. This allows us to further develop our innovative solutions and serve our customers even better. We also anticipate with our dashboard new legislation, which will make it mandatory to register load carriers; our solution makes this as simple as possible.”
