Representatives from the University Park, Illinois campus were also quick to delight in I-ACT’s “ambitious plan” following their visit.
Jun Zhao, Governors State University’s College of Business dean, is enthralled with the endless collaboration possibilities, especially given GSU’s efforts to establish a supply chain innovation center.
“Because of our area, it’s (the center) very strategic in terms of transportation, warehousing (and) distribution centers,” Zhao said. “So we’re very, very excited to find out how we can collaborate with ICT and I-ACT.”
For Zhao, the visit to ICT was just the tip of the iceberg. In terms of her vision, opportunities are endless.
“It’s making (us) more excited about what’s possible in the future and the potential impact of those technologies, (like) helping us reduce congestion, reducing costs, increasing efficiency and also helping the environment,” she said. “There’s a latitude of economic and social impact(s) that can come from this really.”
“We’re glad that we could be part of it,” she added.
