SLEM aims to promote the open innovation climate within the Southern Netherlands logistics top sector. Within SLEM, a climate is created in which logistics service providers are continuously challenged to innovate their own business processes, collaborate in the chain or promote the use of (digital) facilities. Important topics are digitalization and data exchange (BP/MR tool), supervision and enforcement (customs) and automation and robotization (e-fulfilment).

SLEM ensures that companies will find each other easier, be stimulated to work together and get to know each other's strengths. Cooperation in which parties can build on each other's expertise and the distance between large logistics companies and SMEs is reduced. Proeftuin SLEM offers the necessary solution for this and a substantive fit with the aforementioned needs. 

This living lab brings together leading large companies, startups, SMEs and knowledge institutions from the sector in a way that enables them to successfully validate and implement innovations. A unique aspect of this is the mutual availability of pilot opportunities at the companies themselves. This fits in perfectly with the need expressed by the business community to jointly tackle overlapping innovation projects and to learn with and from each other.
