Logiconomi - a platform for trends and innovations in logistics
Logiconomi is a communication platform, created by Toyota Material Handling Europe, to identify and understand challenges, trends and emerging technologies in the logistics industry. The aim is to support players active in the logistics industry with insights and inspiration for improved logistics operations and to develop knowledge and experience across the Toyota organisation. Through research, expert insights and industry collaboration, Logiconomi helps organisations better understand how logistics is evolving and how to prepare for the future.

Past Logiconomi Forums
Logiconomi Forums are biennial events that bring together logistics professionals, industry leaders, technology innovators and thought leaders to discuss the future of logistics. Since the first edition in 2018, Logiconomi has welcomed hundreds of delegates from across Europe and has become an established platform for exchanging ideas, sharing best practices and exploring emerging trends.
It all started in Mjölby, Sweden, January 2018
The first Logiconomi Forum was held at Toyota Material Handling’s factory and HQ in Mjölby, Sweden. It provided delegates with the opportunity to visit the company’s research and development centre and gain valuable insights through presentations from Volvo Venture Capital, leading robotics expert Randall van Poelvoorde and futurist Dr. Patrick Dixon.
In logistics, standing still is not an option
Two more events followed. The 2019 Logiconomi Forum took place at SugarCity, Amsterdam and the 2022 edition in Handelsbeurs, right in the centre of Antwerp, and at Logiville, a logistics innovation centre close to the city.
Enabling Sustainable Performance
At Logiconomi 2025, in Marseille, executive experts from leading companies shared their knowledge and experience in keynote presentations, classroom sessions and discussion areas. At the event, creative start-ups presented new and innovative solutions (Logiconomi Connections).
Looking ahead
Logiconomi continues to evolve as Toyota Material Handling Europe's platform for innovation, collaboration and thought leadership within the logistics industry.
More information about future Logiconomi initiatives will be shared in the coming months.
