Innovation HUB26

Innovation HUB is the arena where we bring together people, projects and perspectives that point forward before they become standard in the market. This year, we believe the program is particularly relevant for those of you who are already familiar with the arena, because several of the topics now directly address the strategic choices that the transport and logistics industry is currently facing.

This year's theme addresses some of the most important shifts the transport and logistics industry is in the midst of:

Strategy choices. Competitiveness. Future competence. Artificial intelligence. Electrification. New transport concepts.

The transport market is not changing in one area at a time. There are multiple shifts happening simultaneously. New energy solutions, automation, AI, smarter vessel systems and increased demands on ports and value chains are changing what creates value – and what determines competitiveness.

Innovation HUB is the arena for those of you who want to understand these shifts before they become standard.
