“Ryder has a strong history investing in and working with startups to leverage emerging technologies to make our business and, ultimately, our customers’ businesses better,” says Jones. “We realized pretty quickly that we needed to identify earlier in the process those new technologies that address our customers’ pain points and then work alongside the start-ups developing them to speed the solutions to market. Startups bring the ideas, the brilliant minds, and the developing technologies. Well-established companies like Ryder bring the customers, the use cases, and the real-world applications that enable and even help direct further development.”

Jones and Gross will join a formidable lineup of globally recognized logistics players, retailers, startups, and technology pioneers. Their session “Established Companies x Startups – Working Together to Advance Groundbreaking Technology” is slated for Thursday, February 2, 2023 at 9:40 a.m. on the Plenary Stage during the Manifest show at Caesars Forum Las Vegas.

As a headline sponsor of the event, which brings together the most comprehensive ecosystem of innovation and transformation in supply chain and logistics, Ryder will also showcase its suite of integrated port-to-door supply chain solutions, including e-commerce fulfillment and last-mile delivery, dedicated transportation, and fleet management solutions.

For those interested in learning more about Ryder’s solutions, logistics experts will be available throughout the Manifest show at the Ryder exhibit, booth 119 located just inside the Forum Ballroom entrance.
