The logistics industry is closely linked to the mobility revolution and its intelligent solutions. Hamburg plays a central role in this as an important trading location. The logistics sector in the metropolitan region has been benefiting for several years now from ideas and technologies that startups in this field are bringing to the market.

Digitalisation, urbanisation, e-commerce and sustainability are topics for the future that young entrepreneurs are addressing and from which experienced logistics companies can also learn in order to keep their business models attractive in the long term.

Innovative logistics solutions from Hamburg

Many logistics startups combine competencies from the fields of logistics, mobility and digitalisation in their startups and implement concepts that make processes and products in the industry more efficient and environmentally friendly. Successful inventions from Hamburg, for example, deal with the digitalisation of shipping logistics, a reusable system with shipping bags or the green processing of e-commerce transactions. Konvoi's idea is also exciting. It has an alarm system for trucks on offer that is intended to prevent cargo and diesel theft as well as assaults on drivers.
