Breakbulk Voices Agenda
The Fuel Dilemma: Cost, Policy, and Competitive Edge
With no clear consensus on the fuel of the future, operators face high-stakes choices: invest now in hydrogen, e-fuels, or LNG, or wait for certainty. This session places fuels at the heart of the sustainability debate, examining cost pressures, financing challenges, and whether new technologies are truly bankable. It will also address evolving policy frameworks, ESG standards, and port restrictions on “dirty” vessels, asking what’s really driving investment decisions – and whether fuels are a margin-killer or the next source of competitive advantage.
Empowering People of Determination in Logistics
The UAE has become a pioneer in integrating People of Determination into the workforce, with initiatives such as Abu Dhabi Ports’ collaboration with ZHO. This session highlights how the logistics industry can unlock talent, foster inclusion, and build models that set a global benchmark for accessibility and opportunity.

Startups present breakthrough logistics and supply chain technologies to a panel of investors and industry leaders in a high-energy format.
