Glīd Technologies Joins Smart Cities Council to Drive the Future of Global Logistics and Resilient Supply Chains

Smart Cities Council is proud to announce that Glīd Technologies, a trailblazer in next-generation logistics and Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS), has officially joined the Council as a member, strengthening the global movement toward cleaner, smarter, and more resilient cities and supply chains.

Founded in 2022 by a U.S. military veteran and a former SpaceX engineer, Glīd Technologies is redefining how the world moves goods and materials. The company’s mission is to transform logistics from a global bottleneck into a catalyst for progress, using AI-driven software and autonomous mobility systems to deliver solutions that are efficient, equitable, and sustainable.

Building the Backbone of Global Logistics

Glīd’s MaaS platform integrates advanced autonomous hardware with AI orchestration to create connected freight ecosystems that adapt in real time. Its core suite includes:

  • GliderM – a manned, dual-mode vehicle expanding rail access for industrial operations and pilot hubs.
  • Rāden – a hybrid-electric, autonomous-ready system engineered for the world’s toughest environments, from contested logistics corridors to disaster relief zones.
  • EZRA-1SIX – an AI-powered orchestration platform optimizing freight routing, visibility, and secure chain of custody.

With a subscription-based model that lowers barriers to entry, Glīd enables ports, rail operators, defense agencies, and NGOs to deploy state-of-the-art logistics systems rapidly, empowering communities through modernization, job creation, and sustainability.
