Business Opportunities for Transport Companies at TransRussia 2027

For transport and logistics companies, exhibiting is most useful when the event attracts the customers, cargo owners, and partners they want to reach.

TransRussia brings freight operators, forwarders, logistics providers, cargo owners, technology companies, terminals, and related businesses together in one professional setting. The next edition will take place from 16 to 18 March 2027 at Crocus Expo IEC, Pavilion 3, Moscow.

For prospective exhibitors, the event provides a setting to present transport services, discuss routes and capacity, and meet companies looking for logistics suppliers or partners.

Reach Cargo Owners Looking for Transport Services

Cargo owners are a key audience for transport exhibitors because they represent companies purchasing or managing freight and supply chain services.

According to TransRussia's latest 2026 visitor analysis, 38% of visitors were cargo owners, while 43% represented transport, logistics, forwarding, and related service companies.

For road, rail, maritime, air freight, and multimodal operators, this creates opportunities to discuss specific transport requirements with potential customers.

Conversations may cover routes, cargo types, delivery schedules, capacity, terminals, customs requirements, or the combination of transport modes needed for a particular supply chain.

Present Freight and Forwarding Services

TransRussia covers 13 transport and logistics sectors, allowing companies to position their services within different parts of the supply chain.

The current event sectors include road freight, rail freight, air freight, maritime and inland waterway transport, outsize and heavy lift carriage, freight forwarding, logistics centres and terminals, e-commerce logistics, IT solutions, and associated services.

The 2026 visitor data also provides an indication of product and service interest. TransRussia reports that 17,366 visitors expressed interest in freight forwarding, multimodal transport, and 3PL/4PL services, while 13,197 were interested in road transport, 11,985 in rail transport, and 9,473 in sea and river transport.

These figures describe the 2026 audience and should not be treated as a guarantee of future demand, but they can help companies assess whether visitor interests match their offer.

Build Relationships Across the Logistics Chain

Relevant contacts at TransRussia are not limited to direct customers.

Transport companies may also need freight forwarders, carriers, ports, terminals, warehouse operators, customs specialists, and technology providers to support particular routes or services.

A freight forwarder, for example, may be looking for regional carriers or terminal partners. A shipping company may need inland transport providers, while a road operator could be interested in cargo owners or forwarding companies with regular freight flows.

Companies can review the TransRussia sector structure before the event to identify the types of businesses most relevant to their plans.

Reach Companies from Different Regions

Geographic reach can matter to businesses developing new routes or looking for customers outside their established markets.

TransRussia | SkladTech 2026 attracted 27,228 unique specialists from 55 countries and 82 Russian regions. From this, 70% attended to find new suppliers and business partners.

For exhibitors, this may provide opportunities to speak with companies operating in markets or regions where they are seeking customers, agents, carriers, or other logistics partners.

Participation alone does not guarantee market expansion. Businesses still need to decide which routes and regions are priorities and focus their exhibition activity accordingly.

Meet Professionals Involved in Purchasing

Audience size is only useful if visitors have some involvement in choosing suppliers or services.

The current Why Exhibit page reports that 95% of visitors influence purchasing decisions. TransRussia's 2026 visitor analysis also states that 60% planned to purchase services or equipment following the exhibition.

For transport exhibitors, this may support more detailed discussions about routes, volumes, service levels, capacity, and commercial requirements.

It can also be useful for companies offering more complex services, such as multimodal transport, specialist cargo handling, integrated logistics, or digital freight management, where prospective customers may need more explanation before deciding whether to continue discussions.

Focus the Stand on Relevant Services

A company with a broad portfolio does not need to present every service in equal detail.

Transport operators can concentrate on the routes, transport modes, cargo types, or logistics services most relevant to the customers they want to meet.

A rail operator might focus on particular corridors or cargo categories. Freight forwarders may highlight multimodal services, customs support, or end-to-end logistics, while technology providers can demonstrate systems for booking, tracking, routing, or transport management.

Maps, service information, case examples, and demonstrations can help visitors understand where the company operates and whether its offer matches their requirements.

Consider Exhibiting at TransRussia 2027

TransRussia 2027 will take place from 16 to 8 March 2027 at Crocus Expo IEC, Pavilion 3, Moscow.

Companies providing road, rail, sea, air, multimodal, freight forwarding, terminal, logistics, or related services can review the TransRussia sectors and current Why Exhibit information to assess whether the exhibition matches their commercial priorities.

Businesses interested in presenting their services to potential customers and partners can submit an exhibitor enquiry to discuss participation.
