# ALICE Logistics > ALICE (Alliance for Logistics Innovation through Collaboration in Europe) is the European Technology Platform for logistics innovation. It connects industry, research organisations, public authorities and European institutions to shape priorities and support practical innovation for zero-emission, efficient, resilient and increasingly automated logistics and supply chains. This is an extended, human- and machine-readable reference for `alice-logistics.eu`, prepared from the public website on 2026-09-09. The canonical site-level discovery file is [llms.txt](https://alice-logistics.eu/llms.txt). This file is supplementary and should be refreshed when the website structure or organisational facts change. ## Organisation - Official name: ALICE, Alliance for Logistics Innovation through Collaboration in Europe. - Type: European Technology Platform and industry-led multi-stakeholder platform for logistics research, innovation and market deployment. - Geographic scope: Europe. - Website: [alice-logistics.eu](https://alice-logistics.eu/). - Recognition: ALICE was recognised by the European Commission as a European Technology Platform in July 2013. - Network scale shown on the current homepage: more than 220 companies, research organisations, public authorities and European institutions; more than 900 experts across the network; and more than 40 events and collaborative exchanges each year. - Public funding and policy context: ALICE supports the implementation of European research and innovation programmes, including Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe. ## Mission And Vision ALICE helps logistics stakeholders understand change, share knowledge, align research and innovation priorities, and accelerate market uptake. Its long-term vision is the Physical Internet: an open and interconnected logistics system that uses shared assets and resources to improve supply-chain capacity, productivity, agility and resilience while enabling an affordable transition towards zero-emission logistics. The current logistics context includes decarbonisation, digitalisation, automation, resilience, sovereignty, resource efficiency, infrastructure and changing market expectations. ALICE provides a neutral European platform for connecting these challenges across sectors, transport modes, technologies and policy. ## What ALICE Does - Develops industry-led research and innovation strategies, roadmaps, agendas and recommendations. - Connects logistics operators, shippers, technology providers, researchers, public authorities, European institutions and related networks. - Shares knowledge from operations, research, policy, innovation projects and market developments. - Supports collaborative projects, funded-project participation, webinars, workshops and other community exchanges. - Helps translate industry needs and innovation priorities into European research, funding and policy discussions. - Supports the uptake and deployment of solutions for competitive, sustainable and resilient logistics. ## Activities And Communities - [Activities](https://alice-logistics.eu/activities/): overview of ALICE activity areas. - [Thematic Groups](https://alice-logistics.eu/activities/thematic-groups/): core areas that develop the ALICE mission and vision and prepare ETP documents. - [Innovation](https://alice-logistics.eu/innovation/): research and innovation strategies, roadmaps and priorities for logistics. - [Innovation landscape](https://alice-logistics.eu/innovation/innovation-landscape/): information about the logistics innovation landscape. - [Innovation uptake](https://alice-logistics.eu/innovation/innovation-uptake/): information about moving innovation towards practical deployment. - [ALICE projects](https://alice-logistics.eu/activities/alice-projects/): projects connected with ALICE activities. - [Liaison Projects](https://alice-logistics.eu/activities/liaison-projects/): projects and networks linked through the ALICE ecosystem. - [ALICE Communities](https://alice-logistics.eu/activities/alice-communities/): community activity areas. ## Thematic Areas The website identifies these recurring areas of work: - [Efficient and Low Emission Assets and Energy](https://alice-logistics.eu/activities/thematic-groups/efficient-and-low-emission-assets-and-energy/) - [Corridors, Hubs and Synchromodality](https://alice-logistics.eu/activities/thematic-groups/corridors-hubs-and-synchromodality/) - [Systems and Technologies for Interconnected Logistics](https://alice-logistics.eu/activities/thematic-groups/systems-technologies-for-interconnected-logistics/) - [Global Supply Network Coordination and Collaboration](https://alice-logistics.eu/activities/thematic-groups/global-supply-network-coordination-and-collaboration/) - [Urban Logistics](https://alice-logistics.eu/activities/thematic-groups/urban-logistics/) These areas should be treated as navigation and topic labels.
