Since acquiring Europe’s leading visibility provider, GateHouse Logistics, in 2018, project44 has increased global growth reaching more than 300 enterprise customers with over 20% in Europe, including leading brands such as Amazon, Coop, and Yazaki.
“With an increased need for real-time data and visibility across the entire supply chain, shippers and logistics service providers need a single global provider,” said Michael Gross, Director IT, Supply Chain and Logistics at Yazaki. “We’re excited for project44’s network to grow in Europe and beyond. Their plans for expansion are critical for supporting our global supply chain.”

With European carrier onboarding available in 16 languages and applications in 14 languages, p44’s comprehensive support ensures customers see the ROI of visibility in the fastest way possible.
To accelerate this European growth, project44 opened a Paris office in December of 2019 and has since retained several key hires for continued European expansion, reaching over 80 European-based employees in Aalborg, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, and Milan.
New team members include Regional VP of Sales Mickael Devena , Value Engineering Director Jatin Garg , Head of European Marketing Lorenzo Stranges, and Strategic Account Director Marco Tarpi .

To lead this growing team, project44 has promoted Executive Vice President of Operations, Jørgen B Nielsen, to General Manager of Europe.

“Building on the GateHouse Logistics’s decade of significant success and expertise, project44 has continued to expand the European visibility market, delivering a seamless product and experience for our global customers,” said Jørgen. “As supply chains increase logistics and transportation operations across geographies, project44 will continue to expand globally and provide the coverage our customers need to effectively run their businesses.”

Vara Receives World-First CE Certification for Autonomous AI in Breast Cancer Screening2.9.2026 08:00:00 CEST | Press release
Vara has received CE certification under the EU Medical Device Regulation (Class IIb) for autonomous triage in organised breast cancer screening – the first breast AI certified anywhere to report screening examinations as normal without radiologist review. In autonomous triage, examinations the system classifies as clearly normal can be reported by AI without a radiologist reading them; every other examination continues to be read by at least one radiologist. This deployment mode is intended for organised population screening, where a shrinking radiologist workforce is straining programmes that still read every mammogram twice. The certification has only been possible because Vara has developed a safety system that supervises the autonomous use of its AI models. "What made this possible is not the AI model alone," said Stefan Bunk, CTO and co-founder of Vara. "It is based on seven years of continuous monitoring of how our AI performs in the real world, on every single case. That experi
