Slovenia is once again showcasing its top logistics companies at the Transport Logistic 2025 fair with its national pavilion. This year, we're taking it a step further by hosting a business forum that highlights Slovenia’s competitive advantages as a strategic logistics hub.

2 June 2025
13:00 - 16:00
Munich, Germany
Messe München, Hall A4, Room A42

The business forum will focus on Slovenia’s strategic advantages as a powerful and sustainable hub for cross-border supply chains – particularly toward Central Europe, Eastern Europe, and the Western Balkans:

  • the Port of Koper as the northernmost deep-sea port in the Adriatic,
  • the shortest route from Southeast Asia to Central Europe via the Suez Canal, 
  • the direct, time-saving connection to Central European markets such as Germany through Austria and
  • targeted investments in modern rail and airport infrastructure as well as digital logistics solutions.

Following the welcome addresses – including remarks by the Slovenian Minister of Economy, Tourism and Sport, Mr. Matjaž Han – you will hear about Slovenia’s efficient customs administration. The panel discussion will offer valuable insights into the latest developments in Slovenia’s transport and logistics sector with German companies sharing their experiences working with the Slovenian logistics system.

After the event, we warmly invite you to join us for a networking lunch at the Slovenian joint stand. Take this opportunity to make valuable contacts and experience the culinary highlights of Slovenia. Enjoy authentic local specialties and wrap up the professional exchange in a relaxed atmosphere over a glass of Slovenian wine.
