Future Logistics Living Lab
NICTA’s Future Logistics Living Lab is a state of the art collaboration and technology demonstration facility established in 2011. We are Australia’s first living lab and provide a platform for industry and research to work together, investigate real-world problems and demonstrate innovative technology that will provide logistics solutions for the future. Featuring an exhibition, event and work space in Sydney, Australia, the lab is driven by a community of logistics companies, research organisations, universities, and IT providers who work together to exchange experience, discuss trends and innovate to shape the future of logistics.
The purpose of the Future Logistics Living Laboratory is to deliver innovation to the Australian logistics industry to improve efficiency, sustainability and safety.
The lab brings together industry, research institutes and government networks to deliver innovative solutions to real world problems. The Living Lab assists industry to address challenges such as rising fuel costs, increasing road congestion, reducing emissions and improving safety. Industry participants drive the agenda of world-class research within the Living Lab community.
The lab enables ‘rapid prototyping’ in a low-cost, low-risk environment to fast-track innovation by:
creating new technologies
testing new technologies
demonstrating new technologies
Continued collaboration with leading industry participants, input from the world’s best research institutes and support from our government partners will enable iconic projects to tackle real world problems. The lab aims to generate external funding through industry and government partners to finance projects that will create national wealth with economic, environmental and social impact
