The war in Ukraine and the COVID-19 pandemic have a significant impact on global and European logistic chains. Clusters, business associations, and companies report disrupted routes, export and import limitations, increase of transport costs, and delivery delays for a range of products and supplies. For example, we experience delivery delays on imports from Asia because of ongoing lockdowns. Truck drivers are missing to cover disrupted chains on the road. Railways and ports in Ukraine are partially or fully unavailable and affect the functioning of logistic chains.
In this context, the European Cluster Collaboration Platform, on behalf of the European Commission, DG GROW, organised the next EU Clusters Talk “Global transport & EU logistics. What are the alternatives and sustainable solutions?” on 11th May 2022, to speak about:
• the current challenges in logistics in Europe and beyond,
• the disruptions in the supply chains because of the war in Ukraine and the pandemic,
• and possible transport alternatives and investments for the future.
