First joint edition of ICT&Logistics and Logistica Next in annual format: 4 to 6 November 2025 in Utrecht
Utrecht, 3 July 2025 - From 4 to 6 November 2025, the ICT&Logistics and Logistica Next trade fairs will take place at Royal Jaarbeurs. The trade fairs are the meeting place for professionals from the logistics sector, with an emphasis on technological innovation and future-oriented solutions. Under the central theme 'Say yes to Future Logistics', over 300 exhibitors, 150 speakers and 10 knowledge institutions such as TLN, evofenedex and Logistiek Digitaal present the latest developments in areas such as digitalisation, automation and zero emission. The exhibitions offer an up-to-date overview of trends and applications within warehouse management, mobile robots, AI and sustainable supply chains, among others. ICT&Logistics and Logistica Next focus on sharing knowledge, facilitating networking and offering concrete solutions for current and future logistics challenges.
Smart supply chains on the rise: technology accelerates logistics transformation
The transformation of the logistics sector takes centre stage at ICT&Logistiek and Logistica Next. New technologies such as AI, robotisation and automation play a key role in this. For example, AI is increasingly being used for predictive analytics, dynamic route planning and real-time decision-making. At the same time, mobile and collaborative robots are improving flexibility and efficiency in warehouses and distribution centres. “Logistics is becoming increasingly smart and self-managing,” says Corien den Ouden, exhibition manager for ICT&Logistiek and Logistica Next. “These developments are changing not only processes, but also collaboration within the supply chain. Organisations that invest in this are taking important steps towards a future-proof and agile supply chain.”
Pressure to innovate drives acceleration
From this year onwards, Logistica Next will take place annually alongside ICT&Logistiek. This decision has been driven by a clear trend in the market: the need for regular meetings, knowledge sharing and insight into the latest innovations is growing rapidly. Whereas a biennial cycle was previously sufficient, the current pace of development in intralogistics calls for a different approach. Corien den Ouden: “The intralogistics sector is evolving at breakneck speed thanks to innovations such as AI, robotics and data analysis. What was cutting-edge yesterday has already been overtaken today. Due to technological progress, labour market shortages and rising customer expectations, the time has come to align the pace of the trade fair with that of the market. The record level of interest from exhibitors shows that the sector is ready for this. With a sold-out exhibition floor as proof, the switch to an annual format is a clear response to market demand.”
By organising the trade fair annually, Logistica Next not only provides an up-to-date picture of the sector, but also stimulates innovation and progress in the field of smart, data-driven and sustainable supply chains.
