TRANSPRIME Spanish Shippers’ Council is again a parter with the Barcelona New Economy Week (BNEW) that will hold its second edition from October 5 to 8, 2021 in Barcelona. The hybrid B2B event – 100% professional – created by the Consorci de la Zona Franca de Barcelona will focus this edition on the opportunities of the new economy. With an expanded program, doubling the topics of the first edition, new areas of a more cross-cutting nature are added to the sectors of logistics, real estate, digital industry, ecommerce and economic zones: science, talent, mobility and sustainability. In this way, BNEW will continue to bet on logistics as one of the key sectors for the development of the 4.0 economy and will become a meeting point in which to tackle the transformation of the sector.

The hybrid format will allow the attendance of professionals from anywhere in the world through an online platform, which also boosts virtual networking among participants through an artificial intelligence tool. In addition, the BVillage space will allow companies to showcase their products on the platform and offer the possibility for attendees to contact them.
