Innovative partnership: startport and LogCoop join forces to strengthen the logistics sector

startport and LogCoop GmbH are combining their expertise to bring startups and medium-sized logistics companies together. This collaboration marks an important step towards developing and promoting innovations in the logistics sector.

Duisburg, 02.07.2024 — startport, leading innovation hub for logistics and supply chain management, is pleased to announce the cooperation with LogCoop, the network for medium-sized logistics companies. The main focus is on networking innovative startups and SMEs. This partnership promotes the development and promotion of innovations in logistics.

Promoting innovations in logistics

As part of this partnership, startport and LogCoop are pooling their resources and expertise to jointly address the logistical challenges of the future. LogCoop, with its 140 members from all over Europe, offers a comprehensive range of services for medium-sized companies in the transport and logistics sector. The network enables a neutral bundling of individual resources and promotes the use of synergies.

“LogCoop is very much looking forward to this collaboration, as the “transfer of know-how” of innovations and digital solutions in the areas of storage, transport and administration is an important task for our members,” explains LogCoop managing director Marc Possekel.

Benefits of collaboration

The collaboration offers exciting opportunities for both sides. LogCoop opens its network to present innovative startups and pioneering ideas to members. This creates a platform for sharing knowledge and promotes the development of sustainable solutions for the logistics sector. Specifically, startport startups have the opportunity to get involved in the extensive LogCoop network and present their concepts and products at events. This creates valuable contacts and opportunities for cooperation. In addition, startport and LogCoop are jointly planning to develop and carry out event formats. For example, cooperation is planned as part of the event “FUTURE LOGISTICS — The Startport Innovation Fair”, which focuses on future trends in logistics.

Johannes Franke, managing director of startport, emphasizes: “The cooperation between startport and LogCoop is a milestone on the way to a competitive future for the logistics industry. Together, we will help to mobilize the industry and, in particular, address digitization and sustainability topics with innovative start-up input.”
