Eu-funded projects

Inspired by the Japanese concept meaning “a reason for being”, the EU-funded IKIGAI project aligns freight transport and logistics operations with the Physical Internet (PI) vision. A Horizon Europe Innovation Action project, IKIGAI supports the digital and green transition of freight logistics, helping companies transition towards a greener, more efficient, and collaborative future – known as Twin Transition.

The expected results are:

• Scalable innovation solutions, harmonised standards and practical tools to help companies reach PI-compliant practices
• Accelerated progress towards zero-emission logistics by 2050

As an IKIGAI consortium partner, OLF leads the project’s governance work. This includes shaping the neutral rules, trust mechanisms and standardisation principles that will underpin collaborative logistics across the sector, from early groundwork through to the launch of the PI Coalition. OLF also contributes to market analyses, pilot demonstrations, and exploitation strategies, helping translate collaborative logistics innovations into models that companies of any size, including SMEs, can adopt.

EXITO aims to accelerate the adoption of the European eFTI Regulation and expand digital freight data exchange beyond regulatory compliance. The project develops and tests interoperable digital services and connectivity solutions to enable secure and efficient data exchange between logistics companies, supply chain partners and public authorities.

Key objectives include:

• Developing and testing an eFTI-compliant logistics data space
• Enabling secure, seamless and interoperable data exchange
• Facilitating the participation of SMEs in digital logistics
• Supporting cross-border and multimodal transport
• Integrating sustainability reporting and data sharing

Through real-life demonstrations across several European countries, EXITO aims to make freight and logistics data exchange more connected, efficient and accessible for businesses and public authorities.

As an EXITO consortium partner, OLF is driving open source components and reusable building blocks for digital logistics. Contributing to interoperability, data exchange standards, and common specifications; leading standardisation and policy engagement for broad European adoption; and co-shaping the EXITO Community of Practice and stakeholder ecosystem.
