The move comes as the global logistics and transportation market is projected to grow from $9.4 trillion in 2024 to $23.0 trillion by 2035 underlining the strategic economic weight of logistics in global trade and food supply systems.
At a time when an estimated 70–90% of global trade value moves by sea, logistics efficiency has become a strategic economic lever, directly shaping global GDP, supply reliability and consumer access.
The platform showcases the technologies, infrastructure and partnerships that enable perishables to move fresh, fast and uncompromised across continents, connecting supplier, processor, retailer and consumer.

“We will showcase strategies to build resilient, adaptive networks that ensure business continuity, alongside localized logistics solutions; from cold chain expertise to integrated supply chain management, designed for today’s complex environment,” commented Mohammed Hamdan, UAE Area Head of Sales, Maersk.
