Utrecht, 12 February 2026 - With the announcement of the full conference programme and a growing number of partners, LogiNext Germany is gearing up for a powerful first edition. The new trade congress, a joint venture between Royal Jaarbeurs and Hamburg Messe und Congress GmbH, will take place on 14 and 15 April 2026 at the Congress Center Hamburg (CCH) and builds on the successful Dutch titles ICT&Logistics and Logistica Next.
Congress puts digital future of logistics centre stage
The heart of LogiNext Germany 2026 is the content-rich congress that focuses on the digital, technological and strategic changes facing the logistics sector. The themes are closely aligned with the challenges and opportunities at play worldwide. According to Dr Melanie Leonhard, Senator for Economy, Labour and Innovation of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, Hamburg is the ideal place to have that conversation: "Hamburg is the logistics hub of Northern Europe. This is where flows of goods and data come together and where experience and innovation are close together. LogiNext Germany looks ahead to tomorrow's logistics."
The digital transformation in four sharp congress lines
LogiNext Germany's congress programme revolves around four strategic themes that together provide keen insights into the digital future of logistics. The Regulation, Resilience & Digital Foundations theme focuses on how new regulation and digitalisation are laying the foundations for resilient supply chains. From Data to Decisions shows how AI, automation and real-time data help organisations act faster and smarter with examples from the Otto Group, among others. Within the Automation Unleashed theme, the focus is on the next digital leap, from automation to cyber security, with a keynote by Dr Melanie Leonhard on efficiency and risk management. Finally, the Sustainable, Interconnected & Interoperable Supply Chains theme makes clear why sustainable, open and connected supply chains are essential for future-proof logistics. A vision explained by Andreas Nettsträter of the Open Logistics Foundation.
A platform for ideas, exchange and new connections
Exhibition manager Corien den Ouden sees that the programme clearly responds to today's challenges. "With LogiNext Germany, we are creating a new European meeting place where technology, knowledge and practice come together. The conference programme offers professionals a clear picture of the digital changes that will define the sector in the coming years." In addition to the congress programme, the number of exhibitors is also growing. Several international companies have confirmed their participation. The congress will feature a Pitching Area where participants will present their latest solutions and prototypes. Visitors will thus gain direct insight into relevant innovations and new cooperation opportunities.
