Conference Themes:

The conference preceded the Digital Transport and Logistics Forum 9th plenary meeting organised by the European Commission on the 18th of October.
The Digital Transport and Logistics Forum (DTLF) was established in 2015 to promote dialogue, technical expertise, and collaboration, comprising over 100 experts from EU Member States’ authorities, public entities, and private organisations. The ESC is a permanent member of the DTLF.
DTLF´s primary goal is to support the European Commission in driving the digital transformation of the transport and logistics sector, namely by providing technical assistance for the implementation of the eFTI Regulation (EU) 2020/1056 and the development of Corridor Freight Information Systems.
