I am thrilled to be part of the LogisticsConnect programme advisory board, as I have been involved in this success story since the very first Project Logistics Forum. Seeing how this once small initiative has developed into a vibrant, pioneering industry trade fair fills me with genuine joy and pride. Bremen and logistics are not just my profession, but my passion – and that is exactly what I want to contribute!

LogisticsConnect offers an excellent platform for discussing current and future topics in the industry. I am happy to support the further expansion of the offering for exhibitors and visitors in order to spark the interest of those who were not there the first time around.

The kick-off of LogisticsConnect 2025 was extremely successful. Without excessive staging, but with a clear structure, a high level of professionalism and relevant content, a framework was created in which key topics in the logistics industry were discussed constructively – far beyond Bremen and northern Germany.
Helping to shape and develop an event that provides a strong platform for the “logistical powerhouse of northern Germany” is an exciting task to which I am happy to contribute my ideas and expertise.

LogisticsConnect has created a new, powerful format for project logistics in Bremen. It is an industry gathering that offers us, as industry representatives, exactly the right mix: well-founded technical presentations, practical discussions and intensive exchange with partners along the entire supply chain.
I had the opportunity to provide impetus for modularisation in plant construction as part of the specialist programme – a topic that is of strategic importance to us at thyssenkrupp Uhde. I am therefore all the more delighted to be able to actively shape the further development of this format in the future as a member of the programme advisory board.
Bremen and project logistics – it’s a perfect fit.

For me, Bremen is a centre of excellence for industrial project logistics. It is home to experts who successfully implement large-scale projects worldwide – from the blueprint to the construction site. That is why I am delighted, especially as a Bremen native, to be part of the LogisticsConnect programme advisory board. The event offers a strong platform for addressing relevant industry topics and raising the profile of Bremen as a logistics hub and centre of global expertise.
Prof. Dr. Sven Hermann

Definitely a new highlight in the calendar – the LogisticsConnect congress fair turns Bremen into the centre of project logistics and its players for two days. I am therefore very pleased to coordinate the activities of the new programme advisory board and to once again develop an exciting and varied programme for the second edition in March 2027.
