Inspire • Encourage • Act –
Mutig machen
It’s time to get to grips with the big issues. Far-reaching political and social change on both
national and international level combined with the dynamic pace of technological develop-
ment call for committed action, courage and mutual inspiration.

Supply chainers are “business makers”. They know how important it is to adopt a positive
attitude, whatever the challenge. It is this that attitude that underlines our theme for the
year. “Inspire • Encourage • Act” calls on us to address the challenges in industry, politics and
society calmly and courageously, to implement promising ideas – rather than complaining
that everything’s just too difficult.

At the same time, we need to encourage and empower people to tackle the key issues, to
become involved, to explore uncharted or new territory, to take calculated risks and to roll up
their sleeves. The logistics sector successfully performs an extremely wide range of tasks every
day and communicates these activities both within companies as well as vis-à-vis political
decision-makers and society at large.
                                                                                                    Robert Blackburn

develop creative answers to today’s challenges and tomorrow’s trends – and who inspire and
encourage others by doing so. So let yourself also be inspired, share your expertise and take
new ideas back with you to your company. We look forward to meeting you in Berlin.
