c2p startup day:
Day 3, October 26
connect2posts Community Circuit
Industry trends – networking – matchmaking
On October 26, Day 3 of Parcel+Post Expo, connect2posts (c2p) members – including postal and logistics companies, industry partners and other stakeholders – will gather in the Startup Zone to network, exchange knowledge and collaborate throughout the day.

This will mark the first connect2posts Community Circuit and will be a milestone in the development of the newly launched c2p platform, through which the postal and logistics ecosystem can identify relevant solutions and technologies; engage and exchange knowledge with startups and other industry stakeholders; and evaluate opportunities for potential partnerships.
During the c2p day, innovation leaders from postal and logistics companies will share insights into current trends, business needs, challenges and strategies. They will explain the needs and challenges they currently face, how they want to engage with startups and what the cornerstones of successful cooperation are.
In the pitching sessions, the startups will present their solutions and technologies to leaders within postal and logistics companies and will receive direct feedback from the industry in a moderated question-and-answer format. Participants will also get the opportunity to network in facilitated networking and matchmaking sessions and identify opportunities for collaboration.
This newly launched connect2posts platform seeks to enable and facilitate a new engagement and collaboration model between startups, postal and parcel companies and other industry stakeholders. It will drive innovation and the adoption of new technologies in the postal and parcel ecosystem, of which startups have become a crucial part.
- This event is free to attend for everyone
- Only startups that are c2p members will be able to join the matchmaking sessions
