Freight Innovation Fund 26/27 selects next contingent of logistics operators

The Department for Transport’s (DfT) Freight Innovation Fund for 2026 and 2027 has awarded 20 companies selected across two programmes.

Funded by the DfT and delivered by Innovate UK’s the Catapult Network, the Freight Innovation Fund is focussed on accelerating the adoption of commercial solutions to address challenges in the UK’s freight and logistics sector.

This year, the DfT has extended the fund to enable more support for companies with market-ready technologies and further engage the wider industry through the Freight and Logistics Innovation Network.

The fund’s accelerator programme sees ten innovators team up with industry partners to conduct trials, with the aim of proving their solution in an operational environment.
