The Maritime and Logistics Industry Meets in Jeddah

The 2026 Congress will take place at the Jeddah Superdome, bringing the event to Jeddah on 21–22 October. The organisers highlight the venue as a central location for bringing together the maritime and logistics community in Saudi Arabia. The event will provide an opportunity to connect with organisations across the maritime and logistics value chain, including shipowners, operators, ports and terminals, freight forwarders and logistics providers, shipyards, marine equipment manufacturers, technology providers and classification societies.

Five Areas Shaping the Future of Maritime Logistics

The 2026 conference programme will explore five key areas influencing the future of the industry: Trade Corridors, Connectivity & Geopolitical Fragmentation; Ports, Logistics & Industrial Competitiveness; Energy Transition in Maritime and Logistics; Infrastructure Investment and Economic Development; and Technology, Resilience & Maritime Security.

The sessions will examine how changing geopolitical conditions are affecting trade routes and cargo flows, how ports are developing into wider logistics and industrial hubs, and how the maritime sector is responding to the transition towards lower-carbon operations. The programme will also address infrastructure investment, digital transformation, cyber risks and the resilience of critical maritime operations. With more than 120 speakers scheduled to participate, the Congress will offer attendees the opportunity to hear directly from industry leaders and specialists working across these areas.

Building Connections Across the Maritime and Logistics Value Chain

For logistics professionals, the Congress provides a setting to meet potential partners and customers, exchange knowledge and gain a closer understanding of developments in the Saudi market. The organisers expect more than 15,000 attendees and 200+ exhibiting companies, creating opportunities for business conversations across different parts of the maritime and logistics sector.

For Globalia members, the Saudi Maritime & Logistics Congress 2026 offers an opportunity to connect with professionals across the maritime and logistics value chain while gaining a closer look at developments influencing Saudi Arabia’s position in international trade.

In the world of freight forwarding networks, ten years is no small feat. Networks appear with energy and ambition, but many quietly fade away within a few seasons. Market shifts, internal misalignment, financial instability, or a lack of long-term vision can shorten their lifespan. Globalia is now approaching its tenth year. And that’s exactly what makes this moment powerful. We are standing at the edge of a milestone, focused on what has been built and what comes next.

The Early Years: From Vision to Structure

Globalia began with a clear blueprint. From the outset, the objective was to create a structured, financially secure, and exclusive network where trust was embedded into the model itself. The ambition was strong, but so was the discipline behind it. Globalia Founder, Antonio Torres, reflects: “We were very clear about what we wanted to create. From day one, the objective was not to be the biggest network. It was to be a network that members could truly depend on.” That clarity translated into standards. Careful member selection. Financial protection mechanisms. A long-term mindset. What emerged was the steady construction of a reliable global structure.

A Decade That Felt Like a Generation

The last ten years in logistics have felt like a generation compressed into a decade. Digital transformation accelerated. Regulations tightened. Geopolitical tensions reshaped trade lanes. Supply chains were tested in ways few could have predicted. Through it all, Globalia strengthened its position. Maria Serrano, Globalia’s Head Office Manager, explains: “Ten years may not sound long in other industries, but in this sector it feels like a lifetime. We’ve seen networks come and go. Reaching this point tells us we built something solid. That solidity comes from consistency. From choosing partners carefully. From prioritizing financial protection. From focusing on quality over size.”

In a space where rapid expansion can weaken foundations, Globalia chose balance and discipline.

Stability That Speaks for Itself

Security, collaboration, and opportunity are strong reasons to join a network like Globalia.

Ten years sends a clear message of trust and stability. It reflects consistency, commitment, and a strong structure. For our members, it confirms they are part of something solid. For future partners, it signals they are entering an established, reliable community.

As Antonio Torres puts it, “Longevity creates confidence. When members see that we are close to year ten, they know we are not experimenting. We are committed. And we are here to stay.”

A Decade as a Launchpad

Reaching the edge of a decade is both about reflection and acceleration. For Globalia, this milestone reinforces the strength of our model while pushing us to aim higher. As we look ahead to the next decade, our focus remains clear: quality, personalized service, a strong human connection, and the agility to adapt, evolve, and move forward with our members.

“Reaching year ten is motivation and it heralds a new chapter for us. If we’ve built this in ten years, imagine what we can build in the next ten. The experience we’ve gained gives us confidence to face whatever comes next,” adds Mr. Torres. And here’s the important part: what comes next will be unveiled very soon.

The Road Ahead

A decade represents accumulated relationships, shared success stories, and experience forged through real-world challenges. It reflects trust built shipment by shipment, meeting by meeting, year after year. Simply put, Globalia stands today as a solid, structured, and professionally managed network. Its model has been proven in practice, and its foundation is robust. Most importantly, its team remains fully committed to driving long-term value for its members. Ten years in this industry is no small feat. For Globalia, it marks both a milestone and a platform for further growth. The next chapter is about evolution.

Let’s meet in Bangkok this October to celebrate, connect, and unveil what comes next. Confirm your place and move forward with us.
