Webinar Physical Internet applications for containerised consolidation on public transport
Webinar explored Physical Internet applications for integrating freight into public transport, co-organised by IKIGAI, ALICE, DISCO, Shift2Zero and URBANE, highlighting urban and rural logistics improvements and emission reduction potential.
Strengthening global collaboration to advance the Physical Internet
The transition toward Physical Internet–enabled logistics is accelerating globally. The EU-funded IKIGAI project contributes by translating strategic vision into practical implementation through innovation, piloting and international cooperation supporting collaborative, interoperable and sustainable logistics networks.
Key takeaways from the International Expert workshop
An international expert workshop gathered researchers, industry stakeholders and standardisation experts to explore how innovation pilots and emerging logistics solutions can scale into interoperable Physical Internet systems supporting efficient, collaborative and zero-emission logistics networks.
IKIGAI and partners publish white paper on book and claim
IKIGAI contributed to a Smart Freight Centre-led white paper on implementing book and claim for low-emission road freight. With input from P&G, Normec Verifavia and GRUBER Logistics, it provides a verified, standardised framework enabling credible, scalable emissions reporting.
IKIGAI at the ALICE Brokerage Event 2026
IKIGAI participated in the ALICE Brokerage Event 2026 in Brussels, strengthening collaboration across Europe’s logistics ecosystem. Recognised during the General Assembly as a strategic milestone, IKIGAI advances Physical Internet governance and supports scalable, zero-emission freight innovation aligned with Horizon Europe 2026-2027 ambitions.
IKIGAI advances business adoption of reusable SmartBoxes with LI5 kick-off in Brussels
On 13 January 2026, the IKIGAI Project held the hybrid kick-off meeting of Logistics Innovation 5 (LI5) “GS1 SMART-Box pooling governance scaling up to Belgium and France” in Brussels and online.
