Discussion on Logistics Costs at Transport Logistic 2025: Italcam Weighs In
At this year's Transport Logistic trade fair in Munich, the Italian Chamber of Commerce Munich-Stuttgart (Italcam) is hosting a panel discussion with the intriguing title "Think Upside Down". This event, taking place on June 4, 2025, at 4:30 PM in the Forum in Hall A1, aims to challenge traditional logistics strategies by encouraging shippers to consider the Southern Ports of Genoa as a competitive alternative to the Northern European ports.
The Ports of Genoa, strategically located on the Mediterranean Sea, are highlighted for their integration with efficient intermodal networks. These ports serve as a natural gateway for Central Europe's import/export companies, offering high-quality services and innovations in logistics and maritime trade.
Key participants from the port infrastructure and logistics companies at this event include representatives from the Ports of Genoa and Savona-Vado Ligure’s shipping community. These representatives showcase their services and engage with current and future port users. The Western Ligurian Sea Port Authority is also prominently involved, facilitating contacts between terminal operators, service providers, and industry stakeholders.
A networking meeting with a business lunch will take place at the Genoa Ports stand on June 4 at 11:00 AM. This event offers an opportunity for industry professionals to discuss the future of logistics with practical insights and bold concepts.
The events focusing on the role of Northern Italy in the future of the logistics industry are not limited to the "Think upside down" discussion. Italcam is organizing additional events at the Transport Logistic trade fair stands, with the region of Veneto discussing its role as a central hub under the title "Veneto Logistic System: Moving the Future Together" on June 3 at 4:00 PM.
Italcam aims to bring the logistics hub more into the spotlight of Central European logistics. The events focus on the role of Northern Italy in the future of the logistics industry, particularly in light of climate change and resource efficiency. The intermodal infrastructure supports a shift to more environmentally friendly transport modes and aims to strengthen the resilience of cross-border supply chains.
The three major Adriatic and Ligurian ports of Trieste, Venice, and Genoa have powerful connections to the hinterland, forming an integrated network with direct access to the European road and rail freight network. The events are taking place at Hall A1, Stand 431.
