The logistics sector is facing sweeping changes in the areas of workforce, energy, digitization, and artificial intelligence. With ICT&Logistiek and Logistica Next, powered by LogiNext, Royal Dutch Jaarbeurs is bringing the sector together to address the question of how companies can translate these transitions into concrete solutions for their day-to-day operations. From November 3 through 5, 2026, more than 10,000 professionals, experts, and decision-makers will gather. Technological innovations, real-world examples, and industry-wide knowledge will take center stage, all centered on one question: How do we build a smart, agile, and future-proof logistics chain?
Digitization, automation, and AI are no longer just differentiators—they are now key determinants of logistics organizations“ competitiveness. Organizations must be able to adapt more quickly, manage available capacity more intelligently, and simultaneously invest in sustainable and future-proof logistics chains. That is why the digital and physical worlds of logistics converge at ICT&Logistiek and Logistica Next. On the exhibition floor, providers, technology partners, experts, and decision-makers come together to discuss current topics such as AI, data, software, warehouse automation, robotics, energy, and supply chain optimization. Ricardo Vivas Leeuwen, Cluster Manager for Manufacturing & Logistics at Royal Dutch Jaarbeurs: ”The challenges surrounding labor, energy, and digitalization affect virtually every logistics organization. On the exhibition floor, we bring together the parties that need each other to solve these issues in practice.”
The trade shows demonstrate how technology is becoming an increasingly integral part of everyday logistics operations. Visitors gain insight into concrete applications of artificial intelligence, smart automation, robotics, and data-driven decision-making. At the same time, there is a strong focus on issues related to energy, sustainability, and future-proofing logistics infrastructure. New this year are, among other things, the Experience Hub and the Energy & Estate Pavilion, where experts and industry players demonstrate how companies are preparing for the next phase of logistics innovation. Exhibitor Denny van Veen of Kardex says, “The logistics sector needs places where knowledge and practice come together. ICT&Logistiek and Logistica Next offer exactly that. Here, we engage in discussions with professionals who are making decisions today about the logistics of tomorrow. These meetings yield valuable insights and new collaborations.”
In an industry that is becoming increasingly digitized, personal contact remains invaluable. New technology ultimately succeeds only when organizations share knowledge, learn from one another, and work together to implement it. Ricardo Vivas Leeuwen: “As a connector in the logistics sector, we believe in the power of in-person meetings. It is on the exhibition floor that the conversations, ideas, and collaborations that lead to innovation take shape. That is the added value we offer as Jaarbeurs: bringing people together to shape the logistics of tomorrow.”
ICT&Logistics and Logistica Next, powered by LogiNext, together form the leading platform for innovation in the logistics sector. This is where the entire logistics chain comes together—from warehousing and automation to data, AI, and supply chain software. The trade shows address the major transformation taking place within the sector, with a focus on digitization, supply chain integration, and efficiency. Every year, thousands of professionals discover the latest technologies, solutions, and real-world examples that contribute to smart and future-proof logistics. In addition to the exhibition floor, LogiNext connects the logistics community year-round with up-to-date content, knowledge sharing, and industry news.
