Garvis: A Bionic Forecasting Pioneer Driving European Supply Chain Sovereignty
Europe’s recent crises – from pandemic disruptions to the Suez Canal blockage – have exposed the vulnerability of global supply chains[1]. In response, a new wave of innovation is reimagining how we plan and protect the flow of critical goods. Enter Garvis: an Antwerp-based spin-off that has built a “bionic” forecasting platform merging transparent AI with human insight[2]. Born in the heart of Europe’s tech ecosystem, Garvis harnesses artificial intelligence to help organizations anticipate demand shocks and logistic bottlenecks in real time. The company’s SaaS solution empowers planners to incorporate their domain expertise alongside AI predictions, yielding faster, smarter decisions while keeping humans in control[3]. Garvis’s cutting-edge approach – even integrating generative AI for natural language queries[4][5] – promises to turn supply chain forecasting from a backward-looking chore into a forward-looking strategic asset. For European industry and defense planners alike, this breakthrough offers a glimpse of supply chain autonomy: a homegrown technology that could strengthen Europe’s resilience against external shocks and reduce reliance on foreign forecasting tools. The following analysis explores how Garvis, a young European innovator, is aligning with EU strategic autonomy goals and transforming supply chain planning into a source of strategic advantage.
