“Hamburg is the ideal stage for LogiNext Germany. As the ‘Gateway to the World’, strategically located in the heart of Europe, Hamburg offers excellent international accessibility thanks to its seaport, and extensive rail and road network. We are very much looking forward to working with Jaarbeurs to establish a trade fair that fosters innovation and collaboration, and advances the logistics sector,” commented Heiko M. Stutzinger, CEO of HMC. Indeed, as one of the ten largest logistics hub in Europe, the city plays a key role in driving innovation along the entire supply chain.

“LogiNext Germany strengthens Hamburg’s position as Europe’s leading logistics hub and offers the industry a new, international platform for exchange and innovation. As the Logistics Initiative Hamburg, we support the event because it highlights the expertise and networks of the Hamburg metropolitan region and involves companies, research institutions, and start-ups alike. The combination of international reach and the innovative strength of Hamburg as a location creates real added value for all involved and contributes to the sustainable development of the logistics industry,” added Kerstin Wendt-Heinrich, Chairwoman of the Board of Logistik-Initiative Hamburg e.V.
