Cuneo: how to provide isolated communities with sustainable food logistics?
The Challenge
M.I.A.C, the wholesale food market of the City of Cuneo, is cultivating crowd-shipping and community involvement to foster efficient local logistics, particularly for isolated communities.
To ensure efficient goods delivery to all residents and businesses, especially those in remote areas, M.I.A.C. is seeking a digital solution that uses an algorithm to identify the most suitable food logistics. The ideal system allows users to input their transportation needs for items or goods. Based on this information, the solution identifies the most suitable and efficient transportation option. It should utilise zero-emission vehicles and leverage various transportation modes.
M.I.A.C. will host one pilot in collaboration with its residents and local businesses.
Who can apply?
- Companies and associations established in the EU, with a valid European business ID
- Individual citizens through their host institution, or from a country associated to Horizon Europe
