On 11 June, logistics stakeholders from across the region are invited to take part in an interactive workshop focused on the development of the Verladersnetzwerk β a regional initiative aimed at strengthening collaboration, promoting innovation, and supporting the transition toward more sustainable freight transport.
The session offers a platform to identify shared interests, address common challenges, and explore opportunities for practical cooperation. A key objective is to take the first steps toward forming a joint Interreg project, involving relevant partners from across borders.
