Logistics Network

Logistics-related organizations in the Zwolle Region have come together to form the Zwolle Region Logistics Network. The aim is to adopt a unified agenda to position the Zwolle Region as the logistics hub of North East Europe.

Organizations are inspired and have opportunities to network on topics such as employment, the economy, and knowledge-sharing, for example, during PEC Zwolle matches. The power of sport is leveraged as a meeting point and a platform to emphasize the strategic link between the Zwolle region and North East Europe. This can be achieved through optimizing logistics for businesses, coordinating shipments in the Zwolle region, joining forces for lobbying efforts, training skilled workers through knowledge exchange, and organizing events, marketing, and promotions to connect seaports with the hinterland.

Port Entrepreneur of the Year

Throughout the year, various networking events and themed gatherings are organized. A recurring highlight is the Zwolle Region Port Dinner, where the Port Entrepreneur of the Year award is presented.
