“By facing today’s challenges head-on, we build the solutions for tomorrow. Real change comes from honest dialogue and collective action—and together, we can reshape the future of global logistics.”
The forum will feature key speakers from the international public entities and the world’s leading private companies in the logistics sector, with a special conclave session designed to address the industry’s most complex and challenging topics head-on. This is a platform that promises to inspire meaningful change and foster strategic partnerships that will create the roadmap for an effective, efficient and sustainable future for the sector.
