After last year's pandemic-induced pause, WConnecta is back stronger than ever! The new edition will be held on November 12 at the Hotel Barceló Sants in Barcelona, but this time in a more exclusive format to ensure compliance with all health protocols.  

Speaking about the event, Fabrice Douteaud, General Manager of the Alpega Group's freight exchange division, comments:  

"At a time when freight transport is facing the difficult challenge of shifting towards sustainable mobility, collaboration between companies is more necessary than ever in order to reduce empty trips and consequently CO2 emissions. This is why WConnecta is the best framework for carriers to expand their network of contacts and grow their business in an even more sustainable way".  

Transport professionals from all over Europe will attend the event with the goal of strengthening alliances and finding partners to explore new business opportunities with, through an innovative format of quick interviews (Speed Networking) or with pre-arranged private meetings in the Cargo Area

WConnecta once again marks a date in the calendar where the best transport companies in Europe that are part of the community of freight exchanges of the Alpega Group, to which Teleroute and Wtransnet belong, will meet.
