Smart Innovation for Global Cold Chain Logistics

CoolTech – a Cool Logistics event – is a new 2-day forum in collaboration with the Port of Rotterdam that will bring together technology users and buyers, developers, entrepreneurs and innovators, investors, educators and researchers to explore the latest tech trends. The event will take place on 21-22 June 2022.

Over 2 intensive days, CoolTech will explore the current and emerging landscape of global reefer and cold chain technology and operations, with practical, pragmatic, and provocative content. As advances in data, digitalisation, automation and sustainability accelerate and converge across foodtech, pharmatech, agritech, logtech and e-commerce, the potential gains are many for the benefit of people, planet, and profit. Reducing food waste and environmental impact, ensuring safe delivery of medicines, and improving operational outcomes are core goals.
