Season’s Greetings from the IKIGAI project!
As 2025 comes to an end and we prepare for a promising year ahead, the IKIGAI consortium would like to wish our community, partners and supporters a peaceful festive season and a positive start to the New Year.
This period offers a welcome opportunity to pause and reflect on what lies ahead. From July onwards, the IKIGAI project brought together companies, cities, logistics innovators and changemakers from across Europe with the aim of advancing a more collaborative, efficient and decarbonised logistics ecosystem. Our shared ambition is clear: to accelerate progress towards zero-emission, Physical Internet-enabled freight transport through practical standards, real-world pilots and a forward-looking Twin Transition Genome.
In short, we will spend 2026 doing what many of us secretly hope for when packing away the Christmas decorations: creating harmonised systems, improving flows and reducing unnecessary load.
Thank you for being part of this journey. We look forward to continuing our collaboration, sharing insights, and delivering value.
Wishing you Season’s Greetings, a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year filled with clarity, good connections and well-coordinated networks.
Urban Living Labs and sustainable implementation at IPIC 2026
At IPIC 2026, the session “Urban Living Labs and Sustainable Implementation” showcased how projects including IKIGAI are translating Physical Internet concepts into practical urban logistics solutions through living labs, stakeholder collaboration and scalable approaches for sustainable last-mile delivery.
IKIGAI General Assembly
The IKIGAI General Assembly, held alongside IPIC 2026 in Bordeaux, brought project partners together to review progress, align upcoming activities and prepare for pilot deployment. Discussions focused on scaling logistics innovations beyond demonstrations, strengthening stakeholder engagement through the Physical Internet Ambassadors community, and supporting the transition towards more collaborative, interoperable and sustainable Physical Internet-enabled logistics networks.
IKIGAI Logistics Innovations
The IKIGAI project continues to advance its portfolio of logistics innovations, strengthening alignment with the Physical Internet (PI) through the development of collaborative, standardised and digitally enabled logistics systems. By bringing together industry stakeholders, governance frameworks and interoperable technologies, IKIGAI demonstrates how freight transport can evolve towards scalable, zero-emission and interconnected networks.
