Do you have a keen interest in innovation? Do you have the skills to develop your own ideas? DHL is calling all students, start-ups and visionaries to enter DHLInnovation Challenge 2017.

The 2017 DHL Innovation Challenge will focus on the important trend of Sharing Economy Logistics – Creating Shared and Accessible Solutions for the Logistics Industry.

This challenge is open to anyone with a creative and innovative idea for a Sharing Economy Logistics solution - one that creates value for all stakeholders.

Your idea could be about sharing logistics assets, infrastructure, or resources with consumers. It could be about applying the latest technologies to create shared access to logistics services or underutilized assets. Your concept could be a new product, a service solution, or even a concept for a slick mobile app to share belongings. Just make sure your idea is relevant to logistics and demonstrates value to all parties involved, whether businesses, consumers, or peers.

WHAT CAN YOU WIN?

  • Pitch your concept to senior executives and logistics professionals at DHL Innovation Day 2017

  • Win €5,000 with DHL
  • Display the winning concept at the DHL Innovation Centers
