The logistics future starts here: visit ICT&Logistics and Logistica Next 2025

Technology, personnel, space, energy - the logistics sector is under pressure and full of opportunities. From November 4 to 6, the Jaarbeurs Utrecht will transform into the meeting place for everyone working on a future-proof logistics chain. Why should you absolutely not miss this year? We asked exhibition manager Corien den Ouden: "If you don't move now, you will soon be left behind."

"The sector is fundamentally tilting," says Corien. "From robotization to AI, from sustainable mobility to working safely in the warehouse: everything is developing simultaneously and at lightning speed. And meanwhile, the market is demanding more agility, lower costs and a more robust supply chain."

That's exactly why ICT&Logistics and Logistica Next are joining forces again this year. During this three-day event in the Jaarbeurs Utrecht, you will find everything you need to optimize your logistics processes: strategy, technology and inspiration.

Two trade shows, one ticket, more than 300 exhibitors, 200 speakers

The strength of this combined exhibition lies in the breadth and depth of its offering. On the exhibition floor you will meet over 300 exhibitors with concrete solutions in the field of warehouse automation, digital supply chain tools, data-driven supply chain optimization and more.

In addition, the program offers plenty of depth: on the Logistics Arena Mainstage, visionary speakers share their strategies, there are in-depth knowledge sessions in the theaters with topics such as smart warehouse design, zero-emission logistics and hyper-automation.

Themes that touch on your workplace

"The common thread this year? How to keep a grip in a world full of uncertainties," says Corien. "Disruptions are no longer the exception, but the norm. That is why themes that every logistics professional recognizes are central: staff shortages, digitalization, lack of space, cybersecurity, sustainability."

Topics such as working safely in the warehouse, scalable automation and smart data applications also receive a lot of attention.

Practical, current, forward-looking

You visit the show not only to spot trends, but more importantly to find solutions you can apply immediately. From start-up innovations to demos of AMR solutions, from TLN tours to innovative theater sessions with industry experts, every corner of the show floor is designed to inform as well as activate.

New this year include the Day of Dialogue in partnership with the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management (Nov. 5), the Scale-Up Pavilion and interactive Round Tables in partnership with VLM

Building the future together

What makes the fair truly unique is the human aspect. "You speak to peers there who understand exactly what you're up against," says Corien. "Whether you're just starting out with automation or already working with AI, you gain ideas, connect, and go home with actionable insights."

Students are also welcome to attend. During the Logistics Speeddate, young talents will meet employers in the industry.
