Industry sectors & technologies

SIL Barcelona covers a particularly broad range of logistics sectors and technologies.

Transport, logistics and distribution

This area includes road, rail, maritime and air transport companies, logistics operators, freight forwarders, customs specialists, courier companies, delivery services, connected transport and commercial vehicles.

Technology and IT

Visitors can expect technologies for data processing, sensors, scanning, connected fleets, asset management, process optimisation, identification, coding, location tracking and logistics information systems.

Intralogistics

The intralogistics sector includes automated warehouses, forklifts, conveyors, palletisation, packaging, fulfilment, warehouse management systems, picking technologies, industrial supplies and security systems.

Industry 4.0

SIL’s technology scope includes artificial intelligence, robotics, automation, hyperautomation, 5G, cloud computing, big data, blockchain, cybersecurity, IoT, additive manufacturing, quantum computing and autonomous transport.

This includes alternative-fuel vehicles, parcel lockers, PUDO points, autonomous delivery, cross-border delivery, tracking systems, smart mobility, courier services and ecommerce fulfilment.

Sustainability

Sustainability-related solutions include alternative fuels, energy technology, emissions reduction, recycling, waste management, circular economy and sustainable logistics operations.

Products, machinery & innovations

SIL Barcelona provides a marketplace for companies to introduce new logistics products, machinery, software and technology solutions directly to professional buyers.

Exhibits can cover warehouse automation, robotics, material handling equipment, transport management systems, warehouse management software, fleet management, tracking systems, packaging, palletisation, scanning equipment, connected devices and supply chain platforms.

The technology focus increasingly extends beyond physical machinery. Artificial intelligence, digital documentation, data platforms, connected fleets, autonomous systems and smart logistics software are becoming important components of the exhibition.

SIL 2025 featured more than 160 innovations, while the 2025 edition ultimately recorded more than 163 global-exclusive product and technology launches.

For 2027, the organiser has not yet published the final innovations catalogue, so individual products and launches should be checked after the exhibitor programme is released.

Demonstrations & technical presentations

Live demonstrations are an important part of the SIL experience. Instead of only displaying equipment or software, participating companies can demonstrate how logistics technologies operate in practical environments.

Recent SIL programming has included demonstrations covering digital supply chains, transport documentation, warehouse robotics, pallet handling and artificial intelligence.

The Digital Supply Chain Exhibition, for example, was designed to demonstrate technology across planning, intralogistics and transportation, allowing companies and startups to present solutions through practical live demonstrations.

The 2026 agenda also featured demonstrations such as warehouse robotisation, electronic transport documents and pallet-transfer technology.

The 2027 technical programme is expected to expand on these themes, although the final demonstrations and presentation schedule have not yet been announced.

Trade visitor & professional access

SIL Barcelona is primarily designed as a professional B2B logistics exhibition. Its audience includes logistics managers, transport companies, manufacturers, retailers, shippers, freight forwarders, warehouse specialists, supply chain professionals, technology companies, investors and public-sector organisations.

The professional visitor environment is particularly useful for buyers and decision-makers looking for new suppliers, logistics technologies, automation solutions, transport services or digital platforms.

SIL’s recent editions have attracted a high proportion of decision-makers. In 2026, the organiser reported that 93% of visitors had decision-making capacity within their companies’ logistics activities.

Students and academic visitors may have dedicated registration options, subject to the conditions established for the 2027 edition.

Exhibition halls & floor plan

The confirmed 2027 exhibition location is Hall 8 of Fira de Barcelona’s Montjuïc-Plaza España venue. The detailed 2027 floor plan has not yet been released.

Based on recent editions, the exhibition layout can include:

• Exhibition stands
• SIL Knowledge areas
• Agora presentation areas
• Networking areas
• Startup areas
• Digital Supply Chain Exhibition
• Auditorium and specialist meeting spaces
• Registration and visitor services

The 2025 floor plan, for example, included dedicated SIL Knowledge areas, a Digital Supply Chain Exhibition, Agora spaces, a Startup Meeting Area, SIL Networking Zone, SIL Auditorium and other specialised areas throughout Hall 8.

Once the 2027 map is published, visitors will be able to identify individual exhibitors and locate conference, networking and demonstration areas more efficiently.

Business meetings & networking

Business networking is one of SIL Barcelona’s central functions. The SIL Platform supports professional connections between exhibitors and visitors and provides tools designed to help attendees organise meetings before and during the exhibition.

The platform has included personalised contact recommendations, AI-supported agenda planning, exhibitor and visitor networking, QR-based contact exchange and an intelligent virtual assistant.

SIL 2025 generated 7,363 digital contact exchanges, 2,893 meeting requests and 12,177 messages between attendees through the SIL Platform. The edition also hosted pre-arranged B2B meetings in the SIL Networking Zone.

For companies attending in 2027, the platform can therefore be useful for identifying potential customers, suppliers, partners, technology providers and investment contacts.

Event rules & visitor information

Visitors should complete the official accreditation process before attending and carry the required digital or physical accreditation according to the instructions issued for 2027.

SIL’s admission policy allows access to be restricted where venue capacity has been reached, valid accreditation is missing, house rules are breached or safety and security requirements are not followed.

The latest exhibitor regulations also identify SIL as a professional trade fair and state that minors under 16 were not permitted to enter the 2026 edition. Visitors should check the final 2027 regulations because admission rules can be updated for each edition.

Professional visitors should also allow enough time for accreditation, security procedures and movement between exhibition and conference areas.
