FlexTerm had the privilege of visiting the Center of Excellence in Modeling and Simulation for Next Generation Ports (C4NGP) at the National University of Singapore. We engaged in discussions about the integration of state-of-the-art simulation and modeling, advanced optimization techniques, and the transformative capabilities of artificial intelligence. We look forward to future collaborations with C4NGP, contributing to the development of next generation port experts and fostering innovation in the field.
