TRANS EXPO Odessa

The TRANS EXPO Odessa is an annual trade fair that has established itself as a central platform for the transport and logistics sector in the Black Sea region and southern Ukraine. Organized by MediaCompass Ukraine, an experienced player in the field of international professional events, the exhibition takes place at the Port of Odessa—a major logistics hub with modern infrastructure and excellent transport connectivity.

The event fosters professional exchange of knowledge and experience, encourages strategic dialogue, and facilitates targeted B2B contacts with potential partners and investors. Its concept combines a trade exhibition, conferences, round tables, and matchmaking formats in a compact setting. It is characterized by a mix of hands-on expert presentations, effective networking, and purposeful business development, complemented by an informal opening program that enables personal encounters in a relaxed atmosphere.

The event covers the full spectrum of the transport industry, with a particular focus on shipping and port logistics. Key modes of transport featured include sea, rail, road, and air. Exhibitors from these sectors—such as shipping companies, port operators, ship agencies, rail and truck logistics providers, and air freight carriers—present their products and services. Increasingly important multimodal transport solutions also form a core part of the exhibition.

Logistics and supply chain management are integral components of the event. Exhibitors showcase modern approaches to managing goods flows—from warehousing and distribution systems to IT-based transport management solutions and specialized consulting services.

A forward-looking segment of the fair addresses the reconstruction and modernization of Ukraine’s infrastructure. It provides a platform for companies involved in port development, terminal operations, construction and equipment of port facilities, as well as investment projects in the rail and road sectors. In addition, manufacturers of commercial vehicles, providers of specialized port technologies, and companies in communication and navigation technology present their portfolios.

Supporting industries are also well represented, including insurance and financial service providers, packaging and energy companies, and other sector-specific services—players who contribute to the overall efficiency of the transport industry.

The particular relevance of TRANS EXPO Odessa lies in its focus on three key aspects: the maritime importance of the Black Sea, the strategic inclusion of international partners and investors, and its role as a platform for the civilian reconstruction of Ukraine’s critical transport infrastructure. With its clear professional focus, regional grounding, and international perspective, it is considered a major industry event within a dynamic geopolitical and economic context.
