TOYOTA LOGISTICS DESIGN COMPETITION

Application Deadline: 18 December, 2023

LOCATION: Multiple Regions

This year not only the winners are able to get their hands on prizes and perks. In fact, it’s a well-established tradition within the TLDC to provide detailed feedback from industry professionals to our semi-finalists and finalists – to really push their projects and presentations to the next level.

ELIGIBILITY:

Here’s the challenge put more succinctly. We want you to come up with ideas for how circular economy principles can be applied to logistics. Where waste is brought down to a minimum, and resources are used to create as little negative impact on the environment as possible. Ultimately, of course, your ideas, inventions and solutions are all about improving people’s lives. And maybe, even, helping them achieve their goals and dreams. Big task for you. Clearly. So, if you aspire to be a winner you’ve got to demonstrate how circular economy and logistics can work together. We would like your contribution not only to be innovative, but also scalable, with a clear plan for implementation. Should you get this far, whoah, there’s a cash prize in the offing. And more!

BENEFITS:

The winner in each category will be handsomely rewarded. Not only will they receive 5,500 Euros. But winners and finalists will also have the opportunity to apply for an internship with one of the Toyota Design studios. But it gets even better: the winner and finalist works will also be displayed at Milano Design Week and Paris 2024 Olympics-Paralympics event.
