Overview of the LIHH working groups
The Logistics Initiative Hamburg is setting up a series of working groups that take up, evaluate and develop current topics from the transport and logistics industry and related areas and transfer them to the industry/practice.
In this way we contribute to the formation of opinions and competence in the respective fields. Pilot projects can also be launched in practice from the working groups. The aim is to create synergies at the Hamburg location together with and for the members in the network of the initiative. A working group is headed by a working group leader and one or two deputies. The conditions of participation may vary depending on the working group.
