Take part in projects
To increase the competitiveness of Flemish-based logistics companies, VIL carries out projects on Collective Knowledge Development and Knowledge Transfer (COOCK) with ‘Collective’ meaning that the project is intended for a group of companies. 80% of the project cost is subsidized, and 20% is financed by the participating companies.
In addition, VIL focuses on innovative business projects (research and development projects), multidisciplinary research projects, fundamental research, and EU projects (Horizon Europe).
Carry out your project
Present your project idea to VIL, and VIL will consider the project details with you: a collective project with other companies, or an entirely custom-made project (e.g. contract research),.
Get a head start
VIL members have access to first-hand information about announcements and projects. Keep up to date with what is happening in the world of sustainable logistics.
Free publications
