Sustainable City Logistics Accelerator

The Sustainable City Logistics Accelerator is aimed at promoting sustainable urban mobility and reducing congestion, air pollution and carbon emissions in cities. It focuses on innovative solutions for optimising the movement of goods and services in urban areas.

The programme aims to bring together start-ups, SMEs, and large corporations to collaborate on developing new solutions for urban logistics. It also provides access to mentorship, training and networking opportunities to help these companies grow and scale their solutions.

The main areas of focus for the Sustainable City Logistics Accelerator include:

• last-mile delivery: optimising the final stage of delivery to minimise the environmental impact and improve efficiency;
• urban warehousing: exploring new solutions for urban warehousing and storage to reduce the need for long-distance transportation and improve supply chain efficiency;
• smart transport systems: developing intelligent transport systems to optimise the movement of goods and services and reduce congestion in cities;
• clean vehicles: promoting the use of clean and sustainable vehicles for urban deliveries, such as electric vehicles, cargo bikes, and drones.

The programme also seeks to involve cities and local authorities in the development of new solutions for sustainable urban logistics. By working closely with these stakeholders, the programme aims to ensure that new solutions are tailored to the specific needs and requirements of different cities.
