First ALICE Logistics Innovation Award & Launch of the Cloud Report on Coordination and Collaboration

Wednesday, October 20th, 2021

Join us to hear stories from innovation practitioners – how to bring R&I project outcomes to the market and make real impact  

In the past few decades, the logistics sector has experienced revolutionary shifts in technologies, business models, policies and legislation, with outcomes of public funded R&I projects being a key facilitator.

To acknowledge the achievements and inspire the R&I community of the logistics sector, ALICE launched the first Innovation Award in April this year. The first award has been focused on successful implementation cases stemming from R& I projects in logistics coordination and collaboration.

 Implement Cases are concrete examples in which causal links between public R&I funding and technology, organizational or process innovation in a specific logistics area can be established.

The ALICE Logistics Innovation Award evaluates all collected Implementation Cases. The evaluation is done by the selection based on three criteria: Link between R&I funded project and the implementation; Success of market implementation; Scalability and growth potential.

The Award Selection Committee, consists of five experts from the ALICE membership:

  • Carolina Cipres, ZLC, Chair of the Committee
  • Michael Archer, CHEP
  • Eric Ballot, Mines Paris Tech
  • Sergio Barbarino, P&G
  • Selim Tansug, Unilever

In the field of logistics collaboration and coordination, four cases have been selected.

Two gold awards are given to:

Two silver awards are given to:

At the ceremony the project consortium also launched a cloud report presenting main outcomes and implementation cases derived from the R&I projects as potential implementation paths on logistics collaboration and coordination.
