Japan’s logistics industry, renowned worldwide for its quality, is a vital social infrastructure that is closely connected to people’s daily lives. At the same time, complex and multifaceted challenges are emerging—such as labor shortages, transportation capacity constraints, and environmental impacts—symbolized by the “2024 problem.”
To confront these issues, we will generate high-value use cases through co-creation between major industry leaders and startups, helping to resolve not only immediate logistics challenges but also broader social and industrial concerns.
Through business creation driven by co-creation, we aim to build an open ecosystem that delivers new value to society, expands business domains globally, and supports the sustainable growth of startups.
