Apparently the world is not yet saturated with cargo events – or we are seeing a shift to more regional ones, which offer two large benefits: a clear focus on the region in question, and ‘closer to home’ locations for many of those interested, ultimately resulting in a larger, goal-oriented networking pool. The latest event to join the portfolio is transport logistic Middle East/air cargo Middle East and an additional project cargo Middle East. They will be held for the first time from 28-30SEP26 at the Riyadh Front 2 in Saudi Arabia and are being organized by dmg events in partnership with Messe München. Saudi Arabia is one of the world’s fastest-growing trade regions and its strategic Vision 2030 is to position itself as a key international logistics hub, ideally located between Asia, Europe and Africa. As its mother event in Munich, the upcoming logistics extravaganza will bring together representatives from the all transport sectors from logistics and freight forwarding, air cargo, project cargo, maritime logistics and ports, rail and multimodal transport, logistics IT and digital solutions, and infrastructure and industrial projects, drawing in freight forwarders, airlines, ports and terminal operators, EPC contractors, government authorities and free zone operators.
Stefan Rummel, CEO of Messe München, said: “With transport logistic Middle East and air cargo Middle East, we are expanding our globally established platform into a region of growing strategic importance for global trade. [..] Together with dmg events as a strong and experienced partner in the market, we are combining international brand strength with deep regional expertise to create a high-level platform for decision-makers and sustainable business growth for both exhibitors and visitors.” Matt Denton, President, dmg events, explained: “Saudi Arabia’s logistics sector is entering a decisive growth phase, driven by infrastructure expansion, industrial development and sectoral priorities. […We] are proud to bring transport logistic Middle East to the region in collaboration with Messe München. […] By combining Messe München’s global brand and international reach with our deep local knowledge, relationships and operational expertise in Saudi Arabia, we are creating a strong, sector-wide collaborative space that connects global suppliers with regional buyers and enables meaningful business growth for both exhibitors and visitors.”
