transport logistic 2027 is scheduled for 26 to 29 April 2027 at Messe München, Munich, Germany. Organised by Messe München, it is the world’s leading trade fair for logistics, mobility, IT and supply-chain management, covering freight forwarding, warehousing and intralogistics, ports and shipping, air cargo, and digital logistics, with the air cargo Europe show held alongside.
Indian professionals travelling to attend generally need a Schengen Business Visa (short-stay, Type C) for Germany. A confirmed trade-visitor ticket and an invitation or confirmation letter from the organiser or a German business partner support the application.
The event
About transport logistic 2027
transport logistic brings together freight forwarders, carriers, logistics-property and equipment companies, ports and terminals, and technology providers with shippers and supply-chain managers from around the world. National and regional pavilions and a large conference programme run alongside the exhibition.
For Indian logistics companies, freight forwarders and supply-chain technology firms, transport logistic is a concentrated route to international carriers, forwarders and shippers, and a way to build the partnerships behind India’s growing role in global trade lanes.
