LTS Expo Napoli 2026: Shaping Sustainable Logistics Futures

Everything is ready for the second edition of LTS Expo Napoli, the Exhibition dedicated to Logistics, Transport, and Services, which will be inaugurated on Friday, October 16, 2026, at 11:00 am in Naples, at the Mostra d’Oltremare exhibition center. LTS Expo is an event organized by Progecta, led by Angioletto de Negri, under the patronage of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport and the Campania Region.

Statements from Progecta’s Administrator, Angioletto de Negri

“Thanks to LTS Expo Napoli,” says Angioletto de Negri, Administrator of Progecta, “we have the opportunity to welcome the major players of the Logistics, Transport, and Services sectors into the halls of the Mostra d’Oltremare. The event, supported by the MIT and the Campania Region, was conceived to address a vital need of the national system: to strengthen intermodality across all logistic infrastructures—air, rail, road, and maritime—while keeping in mind the three dimensions of sustainability, which must be not only environmental but also economic and social. In this context, the partnership with Idee Circolari ETS is central, as it allows us to provide operators with the cultural and operational tools necessary to face the future also from an ESG perspective. Today,” de Negri concludes, “integrating the three dimensions of sustainability into logistics processes is the only way to remain competitive in the market.”

The event will kick off on Friday, October 16, 2026, at 11:00 am with the inaugural address and the “Napoli Forum of Mediterranean Logistics: New Equilibriums and New Routes. Naples as a global hub between ZES Unica, Artificial Intelligence, and Sustainability.” Supported by Idee Circolari ETS, ESG Partner of LTS Expo Napoli, and coordinated by President Vincenzo La Croce, prominent opinion leaders have been involved for a high-level strategic discussion.

Progecta’s Objective

The goal is to chart the course towards sustainable, digital, and competitive logistics. Organized by Progecta, a leading company in the organization of major national and international trade events—such as Mediterranean Tourism Exchange, PharmExpo, Gustus, Arkeda, and, from 2027, CosmoDental—LTS Expo Napoli 2026 is born with a strategic objective fundamental to the national economic system: to become the main meeting point and forum for discussion and development in an area, Southern Italy, which is among the most vital and strategic in the Mediterranean, promoting the strengthening and synergistic integration of air, rail, road, and maritime infrastructures. A unique event, representing an unprecedented opportunity for dialogue among institutions, major players, and experts to chart the route toward more sustainable, digital, and competitive logistics, capable of fueling and accelerating the strong export propensity that characterizes Italian production.

About 100 exhibitors and over 20 trade associations at LTS Expo Napoli

LTS Expo Napoli’s ability to generate a virtuous network is demonstrated not only by the presence of about 100 exhibitors, including companies and major players who have confirmed their attendance, but also by the collective support and participation of all the main trade associations in the logistics, transport, and services sectors, who will be active participants in the dialogue within the exhibition area.

A Study on the Three Dimensions of Sustainability in Logistics

During LTS Expo Napoli, the Idee Circolari ETS team will conduct a targeted survey to assess the ESG approach of logistics operators present at LTS Expo Napoli 2026. Through a brief, focused questionnaire, the study aims to analyze knowledge, awareness, and behaviors to measure the effective integration of the three dimensions of sustainability—environmental, economic, and social—into business practices.
