October 23, 2020: transport logistic 2021 will be held from May 4 – 7, where the logistics world will meet in Munich to establish, maintain and expand contacts. Messe Munchen is in intensive preparations with the authorities, exhibitors and service providers to ensure that the trade fair is held in accordance with all regulations. It will be the first major industry meeting in Germany since the outbreak of the global corona pandemic.

Last year, Messe Munchen acquired air cargo Africa, air cargo India and air cargo Forum Miami, three successful events which enrich the global transport logistics cluster. Due to the current pandemic, most of this year's trade fairs and congresses had to be cancelled or converted into digital formats. This also affected the events of the transport logistic cluster of Messe Munchen. Meanwhile, planning for the 2021 trade fair year is in full swing. As of now, 80 percent of exhibitors have already registered for transport logistic 2021.

“We are closely monitoring the current developments regarding Covid-19. The health of our visitors, exhibitors and employees is our highest priority at Messe Munchen. Since the outbreak of the coronavirus, we have therefore increased the necessary security measures and are constantly updating them in line with the current situation. Due to these good preparations, we expect the global logistics industry with all participants from industry, trade and services to attend transport logistic in Munich in May 2021,” said Stefan Rummel, managing director of Messe Munchen.

“This year, logistics has once again underlined its importance for supplying the economy and the population. However, local presence and personal contact are still important. Over the years, transport logistic has developed into an important institution for establishing business relations between international companies,” said Axel Plaß, president of the German Freight Forwarding and Logistics Association (DSLV) and member of the advisory board of Messe Munchen.
