After a record 33rd year in Marseille, Comexposium One to One is creating an edition of Top Transport in Saint-Malo

B2B event organizer Comexposium One to One, a division of the Comexposium Group, announces the creation of a new Top Transport destination in Saint-Malo (Ille-et-Vilaine). The objective: to develop the Top Transport brand across the entire region to offer decision-makers and exhibiting companies two complementary business meeting platforms that address the sector's multiple challenges.

On Thursday, October 16, the final Top Transport participants left the Palais du Pharo in Marseille, concluding the 33rd edition of an event that has become a must-see for the transport ecosystem. This year again, the event lived up to its reputation and reached a record level of participation. Over two days, 170 exhibiting companies took part in the meetings, compared to the 160 initially announced. On the project leader side, 345 decision-makers from the sector were present, an increase of 20% compared to the 2024 edition. Among them, the largest groups were present: Auchan, Barilla France, Boiron, Carrefour, Groupe Bel, La Redoute, Lidl, Panzani, etc. In total, 3,735 business meetings were organized, also recording an increase of 10 % compared to the previous year.

This 33rd edition was also marked by many inspiring speeches. Around fifteen conferences and workshops punctuated the event, addressing the major themes of the sector - rising operating costs, decarbonization, taxation, regulation, etc. - in the presence of prestigious speakers: Caroline RITZENTHALER, Director of Ecological Transition & Major Projects at EDF Région Sud; Franck Cannata , President of the Transcan Group, the FNTR and the MEDEF in the Alpes-Maritimes; Sébastien Crussol, Managing Director and Founder of the Compagnie des Pyrénées; Nathalie Merminod , Director of the Transport and Logistics Research Center at Aix-Marseille University; Lucas Menget, War Reporter… Another highlight: the first hackathon co-organized with the AETL association, which brought together around sixty students around the theme “The challenges of the luxury supply chain in the face of ecological issues”. Participants worked on and then presented their projects to around twenty industry figures. "Top Transport has been breaking participation records year after year. We're very proud of it: it's a real collective satisfaction. This growing success has led us to make a big decision... ", confides Jérôme Letu-Montois, event director.

Top Transport Saint-Malo: heading for the Great West

Building on this growth momentum, Comexposium One to One is announcing the creation of a Top Transport event in Saint-Malo. This first event will be held on June 10 and 11, 2026, at the Palais du Grand Large and Quai St-Malo. It will be in synergy with Top Transport Marseille, whose 34th edition will take place on October 14 and 15, 2026. "80% of Top Transport participants come from the southern regions, the Rhône axis, and the northeastern part of France. By creating Top Transport Saint-Malo, we will reach new project leaders who do not travel to Marseille, and thus offer new business opportunities to our partners." explains the event director. Top Transport Saint-Malo will apply the recipe that made Marseille successful: qualified business meetings based on concrete investment projects, immersive operations, inspiring conferences and workshops, as well as friendly moments encouraging exchanges between participants.

"By offering two events - one in Marseille and the other in Saint-Malo - our ambition is to establish a strong, and already legitimate, brand, covering the entire national territory. More than ever, we want to act as a business facilitator!" concludes Jérôme Letu-Montois.
