The government recently announced the latest tranche of projects as part of the Freight Innovation Accelerator, the Connected Places Catapult’s Freight Innovation Cluster has opened its third collaborative competition, the resources available through the Digital Supply Chain Hub continue to grow and, in December, Logistics UK’s Innovation Working Group will begin to build the Logistics Opportunities Map.
What all these initiatives have in common, is that they support collaboration on innovations to deliver the logistics sector’s goals – putting the sector, not technology, first.
Email us using the following link to join the Logistics UK Innovation Working Group to meet with fellow innovation and transformation leads within the logistics sector, to drive Logistics UK’s thought leadership and policy work forward, and hear from expert speakers on new collaboration opportunities.
The working group meets twice a year, in December and April, and through its next meetings, will be workshopping the Logistics Opportunities Map.
When complete, this will identify problem statements and rationales where innovation can support the sector.
On 4 December, we are meeting at Logistics UK’s office in central London, 9:30am to 12:30pm, and there is also an option to join online.

Also consider joining the Connected Places Catapult’s Freight Innovation Cluster (FIC) to be part of a government-backed network of professionals operating in the freight industry, technology sector, academia, local government and more that exists to connect, showcase challenges, and seek technology-driven solutions through commercial partnerships. The FIC has recently launched its third Collaborative Competition, which will see logistics and technology companies working together to solve challenges that are too large for any single organisation to address alone – with the tech consortia eligible for government funding, and the logistics businesses offering themselves as test beds. For more information, email FIC Programme Manager francesca.caramelle@cp.catapult.org.uk.
