Bern Becomes the Meeting Point for Logistics Innovation in January 2026
The Logistics & Automation trade fair will take place in Bern in January 2026, specifically targeting professionals from the logistics, industry, and trade sectors. On January 28 and 29, 2026, over 90 exhibitors and thousands of trade visitors will gather to present solutions related to intralogistics, automation, and digital process control.
The focus is on practical applications. Automated storage systems, autonomous transport vehicles, conveyor technology, as well as warehouse management and material flow software will be highlighted. The trade fair is explicitly aimed at decision-makers, planners, and users who seek to advance concrete projects.
For the DACH logistics scene, Bern is a strategically sensible location. Switzerland is regarded as a test market for efficient logistics solutions and as a bridge between EU markets. As a result, expectations for the quality of discussions and depth of content are correspondingly high.
Alongside the exhibition, expert lectures and discussion panels are planned. Topics to be addressed include the skilled labor shortage, investment security in automation projects, and the role of data in intralogistics.
