It is not necessarily positive news—far from it. The most recurring term in discussions around logistics has changed: today it is geopolitics. Until recently, that role belonged to globalization. The Silk Roads, whether overland or maritime, were contrasted with emerging routes such as the IMEC (India–Middle East–Europe Economic Corridor), and major corridors were framed within a global market backdrop.
The international instability that defines the current landscape—impacting logistics first and foremost—demands a serious reflection on geopolitical dynamics. This will be the focus of the international conference opening the fourth edition of Green Logistics Expo on the morning of Wednesday, October 14, at the Padua Exhibition Centre.
This will not, of course, be the only topic addressed during the three-day event. Significant attention will also be devoted to more specific and technical themes, including energy—the cornerstone of the ecological transition—as well as education and skills development, in collaboration with Fermerci, C.I.S.Co., and technical institutes. This has become a strategic priority across multiple segments of the system, from the most advanced and innovative areas linked to automation and, increasingly, Artificial Intelligence, to more traditional and essential roles such as truck drivers and train operators. In short, trucks, trains, and ships all require skilled professionals to operate them.
In addition, in partnership with Logistica Management, an entire morning will be dedicated to warehouse logistics—an area undergoing rapid transformation and recording significant growth over the past year.
