Each year, Montea hosts its Reality Check event. Why? Because logistics real estate doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Global economics, geopolitics, and societal shifts directly shape our sector.
The stage was set for two inspiring keynotes:
🔹 Mathijs Bouman, economist, who shared his outlook on structural economic challenges – from labor shortages to rising costs – and what they mean for logistics.
🔹 Rob de Wijk & Arend Jan Boekestijn, historians and co-hosts of the podcast Boekestijn & De Wijk, who explored how geopolitical fragmentation, U.S.–China rivalry and Europe’s strategic dependencies will reshape supply chains.
Curious about their answers to these questions:
“Which development do you see having the biggest impact on logistics in the coming years?”
and:
“The world is more unstable than ever. What should the logistics sector be most mindful of in the next five years?"
🎥 Watch the aftermovie with their insights.
Thank you to our speakers and to everyone who joined us.
