Green Logistics Expo

What Green Logistics Expo does

Green Logistics Expo is a B2B trade show dedicated to sustainable logistics, held biennially at Fiera di Padova in Padova, Italy. Founded in 2018 and organized by Padova Hall S.p.A. and Imp-act S.r.l., the event serves logistics operators, manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and public sector entities seeking green supply chain solutions. The 2024 edition hosted 220 exhibitors across 22,000 square meters and attracted 8,600 visitors, of which approximately 85% were Italian and 15% from other European markets, with industry associations such as ALIS and FIEP providing institutional support.

The business generates revenue through three primary streams: exhibitor booth fees, sponsorship and advertising packages, and paid conference programming. The organizing team is small (1–10 employees), consistent with a niche specialist event where much of the operational workload is event-cycle based rather than continuous. Media partner Radio24 extends reach into Italian-language business audiences. Beyond the biennial on-site event, the organization maintains a year-round content presence through GLE Magazine and a podcast series.

For the 4th edition in 2026, Green Logistics Expo is expanding its scope via co-located sub-brands — City Logistics Expo (sustainable urban mobility and last-mile delivery) and the IMPACT fair (enterprise sustainability services) — alongside new on-site services such as an AI & Machine Learning Consulting Desk. These moves indicate a deliberate strategy to grow total addressable audience and per-edition revenue without proportionally expanding the organizing team.
