transport logistic 2025: where innovation met impact

If one thing became crystal clear at transport logistic 2025, it’s that the logistics industry isn’t simply evolving—it’s accelerating into the future with purpose and precision.

From sustainability to digitalisation, this year’s event didn’t just nod to what’s trending. It boldly underlined what’s becoming non-negotiable. Efficient, responsible logistics are no longer ‘nice to have’ aspirations; they’re the blueprint for what’s next. 

What were the main takeaways from a shipper perspective?

• Digitalisation and AI are taking off: From AI route planning to real-time visibility, the buzz was all about smart tech and future-ready tools for carriers.

• Sustainability is front and centre: Green logistics stole the spotlight—think alternative fuels, electric fleets and carbon-cutting supply chains.

• We’re stronger together: Collaboration and visibility were hot topics, pointing to a future of more connected, resilient logistics networks.

Digitalisation and AI are taking off

Carriers and tech providers alike showcased an urgent need for advanced digital tools. AI-driven route optimisation, autonomous match-making and real-time transport visibility weren’t just buzzwords on slides—they were live, operational and in demand.

Our spotlight sessions on topics like eCMR, AI and the Freight Marketplace drew enthusiastic interest, not least thanks to expert input from partners like LKW Walter, Knauf, BASF, the Open Logistics Foundation and ALICE. These weren’t just talks; they were deep dives that led to meaningful, strategic conversations

Sustainability is front and centre

Green logistics is no longer a niche play—it’s the heart of long-term strategy. From electric fleets to alternative fuels, and smarter supply chain optimisation, the industry’s commitment to lowering its carbon footprint is now a mainstream mandate.

Every conversation, every showcase echoed the same thought: sustainability isn’t a checkbox. It’s a competitive edge.

We’re stronger together

This year’s standout theme? Stronger partnerships and clearer visibility across the entire supply chain. The call for collaboration was loud—and it’s being answered.

We can all agree with Fabian Bodenbender, Head of Net New, on his perspective that: ‘transport logistic 2025 in Munich truly reinforced that direct, face-to-face engagement is irreplaceable. The focus on genuine business conversations, coupled with insightful expert sessions and a fantastic stand party, made it an exceptionally productive, valuable and enjoyable event for fostering stronger industry partnerships’.

From a shipper perspective, the event delivered on all fronts. There was no shortage of high-quality engagement, sparking valuable conversations and real opportunities. Our booth became the go-to hub for shippers and carriers to connect face-to-face in meaningful, balanced discussions. And when it came to insights, sessions like Europe’s restructuring crisis: Drive savings and process dynamics in freight procurement with AI and mini-tenders proved a real draw—packed with attendees and packed with value, showing just how strong the appetite is for strategic thinking in today’s market.
