The Black and Caspian Freight Forum 2025 will take place in Baku from 9 to 11 September, gathering over 250 logistics professionals from 25+ countries. The event focuses on international transport corridors, regional seaport development, and shifting trade dynamics.
Organized by RDL Group, the forum is the largest logistics event in Azerbaijan, dedicated to the evolving role of the Black and Caspian Sea Region in global freight transport. The platform is designed to facilitate discussion on a range of topics, including the strategic importance of the Middle Corridor, the legal and insurance frameworks that apply, trends in seaport investment, and the digitalisation of logistics.
The forum’s three-day agenda includes a welcome cocktail on 9 September, followed by a full-day conference, exhibition, and gala dinner on 10 September. A key addition this year is the launch of structured B2B matchmaking: 15-minute pre-scheduled meetings that connect participants based on aligned business interests.
