Pitch session of logistics startups

Having been engaged in logistics for many years, specialists gain experience and self-confidence, but with experience stereotyped thinking and narrow-mindedness are accrued, and our time requires fresh ideas and bold decisions.

This year, in the program of the exhibition, we are holding a pitch session for logistics startups for the first time. We want to show how many talented and daring projects are born in the startup environment; we want to expand the professional horizons of logistics managers. Today in the country there are many new ideas, applying which, you can get a strategic advantage in the market. At the exhibition site, we will connect young innovators with real practitioners.

The pitching format involves competition. We invited the heads of technology departments responsible for the implementation of innovative technologies of large companies to the jury, before which the founders will speak.
