Digitization and innovation in transport. Discussion about the future of the industry during Warsaw Bus Expo and MTTSL Expo
Almost 150 exhibitors, 5,000 visitors, 25,000 m2 of exhibition space and a conference on digitization and innovation in transport. This is how the fourth edition of MTTSL and Warsaw Bus Expo – the international transport, forwarding and logistics fair, took place on April 4-6 at Ptak Warsaw Expo.
Recent years have shown that the Polish transport industry is resistant to crises. It survived the moments of lockdown and the introduction of restrictions, as well as coped with the collapse on the market of drivers from outside the European Union. According to the latest analyses, it has maintained employment in the warehouse sector and is planning further investments, feeling less of the impact of warfare on this sector of the economy. It also coped with the global slowdown in economic activity. This shows that focusing on its further development is the only right direction. This thought illuminated the organizers of MTTSL Expo and Warsaw Bus Expo, which took place at Ptak Warsaw Expo on April 4-6, 2023.

Congress of the Transport Industry – essentially about the industry
The Congress of the Transport Industry took care of the educational aspect of the events. It was attended by the most important representatives of the Polish sector. There was a speech by Minister Alvin Gajadhur, Chief Inspector of Road Transport, and the director of the Transport Department of the Association of International Road Carriers, Piotr Mikiel, presented the prospects for the development of international road transport in the coming years. The subject of autonomization in road transport was discussed, safety in transport was discussed, how to choose effective security in the supply chain and digitalization of the supply chain thanks to the use of artificial intelligence.
There were also preventive lectures. “Economic fraud in Poland – how fraudsters in the transport industry take advantage of market turmoil and how to protect themselves from it” – this was the topic of the speech by Paweł Juskowiak, vice-president of the National Institute of Economic Law. However, there were many, many more issues raised. Thus, the event was a compendium of knowledge about the industry with the widest networking prospects on the market.
