Zergratran is building a cheaper, faster, and cleaner alternative to the Panama Canal for shipping containers. Zergratran develops and manages ESG and technology-focused infrastructure projects around the world that boost the efficiency of the global shipping and transportation system. Zergratran’s first project is Puerto Internacional Las Americas (PILA) in northern Colombia. The project will develop new ports on the Atlantic and Pacific oceans and transfer shipping containers through an underground tunnel system. Problem: Global sea trade experiencing rapidly growing demand. The system is very stressed due to increasing port congestion and vessel and container shortages. Many, including the G7 nations, are now predicting that the congestion will take years of coordinated effort to sort out Solution: Zergratran and Puerto Internacional Las Americas (PILA’s) proposed solution will be the focal point of a system-wide efficiency upgrade that is driven by automation and digitization. Technology: Fully automated ports, underground tunnels, advanced robot cranes, container scanning and security, and advanced power generation Project Benefits: New trade route, more efficient infrastructure for global trade, increased trade, reduced port congestion, centralized global ‘distribution’ facility, sustainable development, sustainable transportation, risk reduction, social development, social impact, regional growth, and hunger reduction Why Us?: Our unique solutions, what have we achieved so far, our overall experience, country permissions and government backing, site knowledge, academic studies, and government & social relations. We are ready to move forward now.

The Cherokee Office of Economic Development (COED) announces the launch of the North Atlanta Venture Mentoring Service (NAV) today, July 1, 2019. Headquartered in Cherokee, NAV represents Georgia’s first entrepreneur mentorship program principled and trained by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s (MIT) Venture Mentoring Service (VMS). MIT VMS has a proven 20-year track record operating its program and has shared its mentoring model with organizations in 23 countries. NAV represents the 90th sister program of MIT VMS. NAV harnesses the expertise of mentors with proven skills and experience to guide startups toward success. Unlike many mentorship programs, NAV takes a team-based approach to mentorship. NAV was made possible through the Cherokee By Choice initiative – a five-year results-driven public/private partnership aimed at reinforcing Cherokee’s role a leader in economic development.
