SITL 2026: about 30% foreign exhibitors

According to the organizers of the French exhibition, SITL 2026 will bring together 70% French exhibitors and 30% international exhibitors (the latter were 25% in 2025). Among these international exhibitors, 83% are European, led by Germany (24), Spain (15), Italy (12), Belgium (11), the Netherlands (8), and Switzerland (5), alongside the United Kingdom (4), Luxembourg (4), Portugal (2), and Sweden (2).

Beyond the conference program, this momentum is reflected throughout the exhibition halls: key players from the European logistics ecosystem will showcase concrete solutions to optimize flows, support exports, secure supply chains, and meet European standards in terms of performance and compliance.

Speaking of topics, a focus of this year’s edition is placed on TEN-T corridors and cross-border cooperation. In fact, while Europe is structured around local and regional dynamics, the issue of critical scale remains central.
