The "Tokyo Logistics Co-Creation Cluster" is an organization formed by logistics companies working together as a team, with the aim of creating a de facto standard for logistics through comprehensive innovation in the logistics industry. In addition to logistics companies, Spiral Innovation Partners participates as an investment institution, and eiicon, which operates open innovation platforms, serves as the secretariat.
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government's "TIB CATAPULT" is a project positioned within the "2050 Tokyo Strategy" to promote "nurturing startups that can thrive globally." It aims to spark innovation from Tokyo and, starting from the "Tokyo Innovation Base" where startups and supporters from Japan and abroad gather, it will intensively support high-growth technology and industrial fields, aiming to create more than 20 collaborative projects in each selected cluster over a three-year period.

By being selected as a participating cluster in the Tokyo Logistics Co-Creation Cluster, we will support social implementation projects, asset utilization, and investment opportunities aimed at automated delivery, delivery optimization using big data and AI, and driver dispatch efficiency.
The assets utilized extend beyond logistics bases, vehicles, and domestic and international logistics networks to encompass a wide range of areas, including collaborations with local governments, international logistics, and global networks.
