The eighth edition of the Tangier Logistics Days, organized by Tangier Med, will take place next Friday, September 25, 2026, at the Tangier Med Port Center in Tangier. The event, which has consolidated itself as the reference logistics meeting of the region as everyone returns to work in the fall, will bring together executives, international experts, decision-makers, and key players in transportation, logistics, and the supply chain to analyze the significant transformations affecting the sector.

Conceived from its origins as an immersive and prospective experience, the forum aims to improve the understanding of the current and future challenges of the supply chain, as well as to share best practices and innovations that can help address them. Over its seven previous editions, the Tangier Logistics Days have successively tackled the major axes of transformation in the sector: the latest cycle began with an analysis of geopolitical challenges — which remain a central concern for supply chain leaders — and continued last year with the role of technological innovations in improving logistics performance.

The 2026 edition opens a new cycle under the slogan 'Augmented supply chain: the human being and data, scarce and strategic resources.' The focus shifts to what the organizers describe as a new door to open: the symbiosis between human capital and the power of data in an environment marked by uncertainty, the rise of artificial intelligence, and the growing challenges of digital sovereignty.

In this context, the competitiveness of exporting and importing companies increasingly depends on their ability to attract, train, and mobilize skilled talent, while they must also be able to master, protect, and value their strategic data. Both dimensions — the human and the technological — cease to be the exclusive responsibility of logistics departments and require increasingly close interaction between supply chain directors and human resource and information systems management. The day aims to explore this convergence and its practical implications for organizations.

The program will feature two internationally renowned speakers as Keynote Speakers. Knut Alicke, a senior advisor at McKinsey and professor at the University of Cologne and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, will deliver the inaugural lecture titled 'AI Transformation Supply Chain of the Future,' in which he will examine the impact of artificial intelligence on the future supply chain. Andrew Melville, co-founder and general director for Europe of Mission Control AI, will address the practical application of AI in logistics with the lecture 'AI in the supply chain: between operational reality, sovereignty, and skill transformation,' an analysis that combines the operational dimension with data sovereignty challenges and the redefinition of professional profiles required by the digital transformation of the sector.

The choice of Tangier as the event's venue is not unrelated to its logistical weight in the region. Tangier Med is one of the most relevant ports in the Mediterranean and a strategic hub on the maritime routes connecting Europe with Africa, America, and Asia. Its position at the Strait of Gibraltar makes it a key node for import and export operations, directly impacting transit times and the logistical efficiency of companies with active foreign trade on both shores. For Spanish companies operating in these markets, the forum represents an opportunity to anticipate trends and learn about practices that are redefining competitiveness in the global supply chain.

Artificial intelligence, which underpins the program of this edition, is transforming logistics on multiple fronts: route optimization, demand forecasting, automated inventory management, and predictive fleet maintenance are some of its most widespread applications. Its implementation, however, not only generates efficiency gains and cost reductions but also demands a redefinition of professional competencies and a greater investment in cybersecurity and data sovereignty, two areas that will focus part of the debate in Tangier next September.
