The answer is yes, but not in form of subsidies. We need first and foremost a clear vision, concrete objectives and a strategy to get there. only then you can start a discussion on funding. If ALICE can make a difference in the way logistics will develop in the future it is through our very clear Vision aimed at the Physical Internet where all our 5 roadmaps<\/a><\/strong> converge.<\/p>\n

Fernando Liesa<\/a> in Project Setris has completed an analysis that shows that In the 5 years 2010-2015 the EU has invested half a billion euros on 158 projects aimed at logistic innovation. Most of them excellent projects, that however could have had a much higher impact if they would have responded to an overarching Vision and Strategy.<\/p>\n

Wando Boeve, Director of ECT Rotterdam and then Chairman of the EIRAC, said in 2011 at the European Parliament that logistic innovation does not need subsidies….it needs a mental shift.<\/p>\n

I think those words have stood the test of time…<\/p>\n

In conclusion watch this surprisingly short 1 minute video<\/a><\/strong> where Prof. Mariana Mazzuccato shows how heavy has been the public investment behind an iconic product like the IPhone. Not subsidies, but truly strategically aimed public innovation programs.<\/p>\n
