Mobility keeps reinventing itself. While killer apps and paradigm-busting concepts are shaping especially
urban/personal transport, it’s worthwhile to consider also the growth corridors for goods. A new concept
under that name Corridor as a Service (CaaS) has been developed in order to improve logistics through
digital services so that Finland can become a world-class logistics hub for tomorrow’s cargo.
Enabling Innovation
Trafi Director Juha Kenraali comments that
Finland has the opportunity to become a true
international hub in this field.

C
orridor as a Service is coordinated by
Traffic Lab, an experimental project
launched by the Finnish Ministry of
Transport and Communications, and devel-
oped together with Technical Research Cen-
tre VTT, startup company Vediafi, Finnish
Transport Safety Agency Trafi and other
organizations belonging to the CaaS Con-
sortium.
The goal of the new operating model
is to improve ground-breaking logistics in
a business-led manner in order to facilitate
international commerce. For companies, this
approach offers opportunities for develop-
ing both currently existing and new forms of
business activities, and for improving trans-
port operations and for networking.
