Activated by SEC Group, the Future Zone was an experiential focal point for all visitors to IMHX in 2025. It brought to life the discussion about what the future of our industry looks like from two distinct angles: Technology & Energy
Visitors were able to discuss, challenge, experience and learn about the evolving priorities of the sector whilst highlights will focus on practical innovation across energy and technology.
The Zone brought together a curated selection of product demonstrations and technical expertise from other partners. Its focus was to provide operators, specifiers and warehouse decision-makers with insights into the technologies and strategies that are driving long-term operational resilience and commercial advantage.
The Future Zone explored two pivotal themes:
The Future of Technology – From electric vehicles and low-emission transport to next-generation materials and AI-driven software, this area showcased a wide range of innovations designed to reduce environmental impact across the supply chain. The focus was on commercially viable technologies that can be adopted at scale.
Visitors to the Future Zone gained a clear view of the practical steps companies are taking to meet regulatory requirements, reduce environmental impact and remain competitive in a rapidly evolving sector. With access to technical specialists, product developers and case study content, the zone provides a valuable opportunity to learn and plan for future investments.
The Future of Energy – With logistics providers facing rising energy costs and increased pressure to decarbonise, interest in on-site renewable energy has never been higher. This section explored how warehousing and logistics facilities can integrate solar and renewable energy systems to reduce reliance on grid power, lower emissions and improve energy security.
As sustainability and efficiency move further up the logistics agenda, the Future Zone offered an in-depth look at how the industry is responding.
Featuring a dedicated speakers' corner with concise and impactful presentations alongside the live demonstrations, the Future Zone had much to offer.
And thanks to our partnership with SEC Group, the Zone featured nothing but the latest advancements at the intersection of sustainability and new technology.
