THE WHOLE SEA MOVES
The “new normal” refuses to exist with the global logistics system: new pitfalls have appeared in the form of rebel attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea, and drought in the Panama Canal, while shipping companies are creating new alliances. During this track, we discuss what is happening in the world and in the global logistics system, and how it affects Swedish business operations.

READY FOR A DIFFERENT CLIMATE?
Climate change is happening now, and people are trying to both prevent it and adapt. New technology and new business ideas are waiting around the corner – how can they contribute to a greener and more beautiful world? We also have political institutions, perhaps above all the EU, which quickly release legislation to steer business operations in a more sustainable direction. During this track, we talk innovation for the future and get an overview of the legislation to come.

But what are the most important Nordic logistics locations and freight routes and how is the logistics map affected by Russia’s war of aggression and our NATO membership? During this track, we discuss the Nordic logistics map – both with a focus on the market, where the major carriers give their view, but also on logistics locations, freight flows and how these are affected by an increasingly uncertain environment.

How to create efficient chains, are heavy automation investments the answer? What technology can connect the circular flow and when will robots and self-driving vehicles become a reality on a large scale?
