European Logistics Observatory

The European Logistics Observatory – in collaboration with The European Technology Platform ALICE – is established with the aim of developing strategic knowledge to support the competitiveness of the European logistics sector.

The Observatory acts as a independent and authoritative body for the analysis and strategic guidance of the European logistics ecosystem, with a particular focus on market developments, digital transformation and innovation. By fostering dialogue among institutions and sector players, the Observatory aims to become a pre-competitive space for interaction and collaboration, thereby promoting strong connections and shared growth. Through its work, it supports the development of effective policies and the strategic decision-making processes of industry leaders.
