For the Logistics Hall of Fame, the next phase of the selection process now begins: Who will enter the Hall of Fame as a new member and who will be awarded the title "Logistics Leader of the Year" will be decided in the coming weeks by the jury, which is made up of around 70 internationally renowned experts from business, media and politics.

The Logistics Hall of Fame documents the greatest milestones in logistics. The decisive factor for induction is that an achievement has significantly and sustainably contributed to the development of logistics beyond the boundaries of one’s own company. To date, 39 men and women have been inducted into the World Hall of Fame.

The "Logistics Leader of the Year" honors those who set the pace and shape the future of the logistics industry. The focus is on topicality and the benefits for one’s own company, as well as innovative strength, sustainability and entrepreneurial change. The prize is awarded by the Logistics Hall of Fame and donated by STILL GmbH.

Both awards will be presented at the annual gala reception, which will take place on November 29 at the Tipi am Kanzleramt in Berlin.
