“How do smart logistics solutions facilitate the flow of trade in MENA countries, and what impact do they have on global supply chain efficiency?”

My research paper explores the role of technology in enhancing trade efficiency within the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Published in IOSR Journals (International Organization of Scientific Research), the study uses two key case studies: the Port of Jebel Ali in the UAE and Egypt’s Trade Modernization efforts.

The research examines how digitization has transformed logistics processes in the UAE and evaluates the broader economic impact on the MENA region. Specifically, I analyze the challenges faced by these countries in trade, such as delays and fragmented systems, and how smart logistics solutions—ranging from automated tracking systems to AI-driven supply chain management—can address these issues. My findings highlight how leveraging advanced technology in logistics leads to fewer delays, increased connectivity, and improved overall efficiency, ultimately benefiting both local economies and the global supply chain.
