On 17-19 November 2021, F&L enjoyed an extraordinary opportunity to meet a wide community of invited logistic & supply chain leaders, experts, practitioners, thought-leaders and innovators. Co-hosted by the United Nations, we met in person and online in Geneva.
Over two days, this very practical agenda tackled congestion, disruption, global trends, and how we will work together across end-to-end logistics and supply chain to adapt to the big demands that “tomorrow” brings.
The UNCTAD Review of Maritime Transport 2021 was launched at F&L’s meeting on 19 November (public session 22 Nov).

The agenda drove a more collaborative approach for all logistics and supply chain stakeholders – including regulators, financiers and policymakers – to come together for inclusive open discussions where everyone sits at the same table.
The international F&L Forum engages business leaders and decision-makers in global manufacturing, logistics (road, rail, sea, waterways, air), academia, policymakers and science. All discussions are focused around freight logistics. All companies with or serving a supply chain, regardless of industry or transport modes being used, are welcome.
