Top Transport Europe · 2026

Agoris analysis · updated October 2026

Key takeaways

• Top Transport Europe is the benchmark business convention for transport and logistics in France: a "one-to-one" format that schedules qualified meetings between decision-making shippers and service providers, organised by Comexposium One to One.
• Next Marseille edition: 34th edition, on 14 and 15 October 2026 at the Palais du Pharo in Marseille.
• Review of the 33rd edition (15-16 October 2025, Palais du Pharo): 3,735 business meetings scheduled (around +10% according to voxlog.fr, +20% according to europe-camions.com), 170 exhibitors and 345 shipper decision-makers (source: europe-camions.com, post-show review December 2025).
• New for 2026: in addition to the annual Marseille meeting, Top Transport is launching an edition in the Grand Ouest region in Saint-Malo on 10 and 11 June 2026 (Palais du Grand Large). The two dates are distinct: this listing covers the October Marseille edition.
• An unusual format: this is not a trade show with open stands but a platform of scheduled individual meetings, complemented by workshops, site visits and networking time.

Conference programme

Beyond the one-to-one meetings, the 2025 edition offered around fifteen themed workshops on the energy transition and freight technologies, a "Fresque du Fret" decarbonisation awareness session, as well as two visits to operational sites (the Grans-Miramas multimodal terminal and the Marseille Fos port facilities). The 2026 programme will be published closer to the show (source: truckeditions.com).

Community and networks

The 2025 edition hosted a hackathon organised with the AETL, mobilising around fifty students on transport and logistics innovations, with their work presented to a panel of professionals.

A TV studio named "Le Live!", produced by Néo 26, gave exhibitors and sector experts a live platform (source: truckeditions.com).

How the show has evolved

Trajectory analysis

Top Transport confirmed its "one-to-one" business convention model in 2025 with 3,735 scheduled meetings, on a base of 170 exhibitors and 345 shipper decision-makers (post-show review, source: europe-camions.com). The 34th edition, on 14 and 15 October 2026 at the Palais du Pharo, continues this momentum. In 2026 the event takes a step in its geographic development: Comexposium One to One is opening an edition in the Grand Ouest region in Saint-Malo in June, complementing the long-standing Marseille meeting in October, with the aim of broadening the brand to new project owners. For transport and logistics exhibitors, it is the opportunity to meet decision-makers already qualified on concrete projects over two days, in a format that sets itself apart from conventional trade shows such as the SITL or Intralogistics France.
