The European Logistics sector has proved resilient despite the headwinds from higher interest rates, the economic slowdown and geopolitical uncertainty.

Have prices become too high? How is the near-shoring trend affecting the sector? Which countries are set to benefit the most? How will values be influenced by the rise in interest rates? What do you expect in terms of yields? How much of a problem is competition for assets and land? Is there more of a focus on bigbox or urban logistics? What are the main differences between markets? In which countries is scarcity of product becoming an issue? What and where are the best opportunities in the markets right now? Technology and innovation have been drivers of growth in e-commerce and logistics. What is the impact of automation, robotics, big data, driverless lorries, drones, artificial intelligence and other innovations on the sector? As consumers' demands increase, how can companies deliver more last-mile centres? What do occupiers want? Will demand for e-commerce continue to increase?  Speculative development is back: what are the prospects? What about build-to-suit?

These and other questions will be answered by our panel of experts.
