The FIATA-VLA Road Show concluded on a high note with a high-impact press conference in Ho Chi Minh City, further solidifying the strong momentum for the 2025 FIATA World Congress (FWC), set to take place from 6-10 October 2025. The event gathered over 150 industry leaders, highlighting the exceptional collaboration between FIATA and the Vietnam Logistics Business Association (VLA) and underscoring their shared vision for a sustainable and innovative logistics sector in Vietnam.
A key highlight of the event was a dynamic panel discussion on decarbonization and green logistics, featuring insights from FIATA Director General Dr. Stéphane Graber, VLA representatives, and other prominent industry figures. The panel explored practical strategies for reducing emissions while ensuring efficiency and growth in logistics. As a crucial trade hub in the region, Vietnam has significant opportunities to align its sustainability initiatives with global best practices, further strengthening its role in international supply chains.
FIATA emphasized the importance of multimodal solutions in minimizing the supply chain’s carbon footprint and presented decarbonization strategies across various transport modes. Additionally, FIATA reinforced its commitment to digital transformation, promoting the adoption of the digital Negotiable FIATA Multimodal Transport Bill of Lading (eFBL). This innovative tool enhances operational efficiency, eliminates paper-based processes, and supports sustainability efforts. The eFBL aligns seamlessly with Vietnam’s digitalization strategy, offering a scalable solution to streamline logistics operations, reduce costs, and enhance supply chain transparency.
Building on the success of the Road Show and the robust industry engagement it fostered, FIATA and VLA are poised to deliver an outstanding 2025 FIATA World Congress. The event in Hanoi will bring together global logistics visionaries, fostering strategic partnerships that will shape the industry’s future.
A major milestone during the press conference was the signing of six sponsorship contracts, marking a significant achievement in securing industry backing for the 2025 FWC. Key sponsors—including SAO A DC, OPL Logistics, T&M Forwarding, Primes Holding, INTELOG, and AS E-Carrier—will play a vital role in supporting this world-class congress, bringing together global logistics leaders to drive forward sustainability and digital transformation.
With strong industry collaboration and innovative initiatives, the FIATA-VLA Road Show has set the stage for a transformative 2025 FIATA World Congress, positioning Vietnam as a key player in the future of global logistics.
