The Era of Logistics is here.

Never has the importance of supply chains been more widely acknowledged by societies in connecting people and improving lives. On an unprecedented level, we are seeing businesses transform logistics from a quiet, back-end operation into a strategic asset and value driver. At the same time, more technology visionaries than ever before are beginning to understand the vast, ripening opportunities in the logistics industry to develop and apply their innovative solutions around the world. At Express Cargo, we believe that success in this new era requires innovation: inspiration, open exchange, and deep collaboration. By sharing The Logistics Trend Radar 6.0, we invite you – our customers, colleagues, and partners – to connect with us and jointly shape the Era of Logistics.
