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 all players active in the logistics industry with insights and inspiration for improved logistics operations and to develop the knowledge and experience of people in the Toyota organisation. The Logiconomi communication platform shares information through bi-annual events. It also introduces solutions to industry challenges with Logiconomi Connections.
Listening and learning
Toyota’s research and innovation team is continuously monitoring trends and new technologies in the industry. This includes collaboration with key sources of information such as industry associations, leading consultancies and innovation forums.
One of the most important sources of information is through discussions with customers who provide real-world insights to daily challenges in logistics operations. In short, listening and learning is key to the concept of Logiconomi.

Past Logiconomi forums
Logiconomi Forums are normally biennial events that provide a key meeting opportunity for logistics professionals to hear from industry leaders, presenting key trends and technologies. They also allow for discussion and workshops on key topics. They typically host over 500 delegates and are held in different locations across Europe, conducted in English.
It all started in Mjölby, Sweden, January 2018
The first Logiconomi Forum was staged 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 as well as gaining 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 were organised. The 2019 Logiconomi Forum was staged at SugarCity, Amsterdam and the 2022 edition in central Antwerp and also at the nearby Logiville logistics innovation centre.
