EnvoConnect is the key conference for sustainability stakeholders in the port and logistics sector in German-speaking countries. As sustainability plays a crucial role in logistics research, BIBA is participating in the accompanying trade exhibition together with the LogDynamics research network for the third time in a row. Current research results will be presented that aim to optimize environmental compatibility in logistics, conserve resources, reduce emissions and increase the efficiency of logistics processes.

In the interests of climate protection and the energy transition, production and logistics, as the largest consumers of primary energy, must be persuaded to rethink: Away from compensation payments, towards the use of renewable energies, the application of efficiency technologies and the formation of flexibility measures. In this context, the BIBA - Bremen Institute of Production and Logistics is conducting research into future value creation in production and logistics systems based on a sustainable product life cycle. Circular economy and energy are key success factors here.

During the guided tour of the BIBA research hall, we will explore the question of how climate-neutral, competitive production and logistics processes can be created and implemented in order to generate added value for society. The tour is offered by BIBA in cooperation with the Mittelstand-Digital Zentrum Bremen-Oldenburg and the Lilienthal Volunteer Agency.

On September 9 and 10, 2025, the KEDi - Competence Center for Energy Efficiency through Digitalization - is coming to Bremen with its roadshow. This event will focus on current developments in energy efficiency through digitalization under the motto: “Efficient | Digital | Feasible”. The first day will focus on the industrial sector, while the second day will deal with the building sector. Participants can look forward to technical impulses from theory and practice as well as interactive workshops presenting application examples and solution approaches. The event also offers the opportunity to exchange ideas with experts on site.

As a partner of the roadshow, BIBA will contribute to energy-efficient production with a keynote speech on September 9 and present a demonstrator on the use of artificial intelligence for greater energy efficiency in production.

Would you like to find out how artificial intelligence (AI) can improve your company? Then this workshop is just right for you!

In a practice-oriented and compact session, we will show you how you can recognize the potential of AI for your company and use it effectively. You will learn how you can use AI strategically in your business processes to increase your productivity, reduce your costs and strengthen your competitive advantage. These topics will be illustrated using concrete examples from practice. The focus is on interactivity and dialog in order to link the knowledge imparted as closely as possible to your individual questions.

The workshop is organized in cooperation between BIBA, the Mittelstand-Digital Zentrum Bremen-Oldenburg and tagaia GmbH.

The virtual impulse seminar offers an overview of technologies for increasing transparency in supply chains. We will give you an in-depth insight into the use of mobile sensor technology in the supply chain. You can look forward to an innovative technical solution for a networked, intelligent supply chain that integrates mobile sensors, gateways, 3D image processing, cloud platforms and digital services. As a result, quality-relevant environmental influences on the products as well as condition-relevant data from transports, such as geolocation, are continuously recorded and digitized with mobile and stationary sensors. Based on this data, digital services are provided for the companies involved, which help to identify transport problems at an early stage and provide further assistance in ensuring product and process quality.

The autumn internship at the “Technologiepark Uni Bremen” during the school vacations is very popular. Alongside other well-known institutions, BIBA is once again taking part with attractive offers - to inspire young people for engineering. The interns first get to know the participating companies and institutes and then dedicate themselves to project work at their host institutions.

This year, BIBA is once again providing exclusive insights into its current research and development projects. Our four internships are dedicated to the topics of circularity and mycelial composites. Here, young people learn how new materials are produced from natural residues and fungi that could enable a circular economy in various industries in the future, especially the packaging industry. By working in the laboratories and with the technical equipment, the interns learn about research topics and methods and are given the opportunity to apply them themselves. They will also design and produce their own mycelium products as part of the internship.

We are looking forward to working together with young researchers for a week!

From October 22 to 24, 2025, BIBA will be represented at the stand of the LogDynamics research network at the BVL Supply Chain CX in Berlin. The CX is the networking event for logistics and supply chain management. This is where decision-makers and other logistics enthusiasts from industry, trade, services and science meet. LogDynamics is once again taking part in the accompanying trade exhibition and is focusing on digitalization and the use of artificial intelligence in the port. We look forward to seeing you at stand C/02 and to exchanging ideas!

The virtual impulse seminar in cooperation between BIBA and the Mittelstand-Digital Zentrum Bremen-Oldenburg offers an overview of the latest developments in the field of cobots in the manufacturing industry and their possible applications in small and medium-sized enterprises. Based on this, considerations on economic and technical feasibility will be presented. We also show how cobots are already being used successfully in various application areas and how you can use simple decision rules to quickly analyze whether the use of a cobot is worthwhile for your company.

The 10th edition of the International Conference on Dynamics in Logistics (LDIC 2026) will be held at the University of Bremen from February 25 to 27, 2026 and will be accompanied by project workshops and further interesting satellite events. The dynamics of logistics processes and networks are at the center of the conference series established by the research cluster LogDynamics.

Invited are empirical, theoretical, methodological, and practice-oriented contributions addressing the modeling, planning, optimization and control of processes in supply chains, logistic networks, production systems, and material flow systems and facilities. LDIC 2026 provides a forum for the discussion of advances in that matter. The conference addresses scientists in logistics, operations research, engineering, and computer science. It aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners interested in dynamics in logistics. The call for papers is open until October 1, 2025.
