Toyota’s Global Design Competition Shifts Focus to Africa’s Logistics Future

The seventh edition of the Toyota Logistic Design Competition (TLDC) is now underway — this time with a spotlight on Africa. With an open call to design students and recent graduates worldwide, the competition invites creative, sustainable solutions to some of the continent’s most pressing logistical challenges.

First launched in 2014, TLDC has evolved into a strategic platform for discovering forward-thinking talent in mobility and logistics design. Toyota Europe Design Development (ED²), now in its third consecutive participation, joins forces once again with Toyota Motor Europe and Toyota Material Handling Design Centre. New for 2025 is the involvement of Toyota Open Labs — an innovation ecosystem bridging Toyota’s business units with startups and scaleups.
