About the survey:
This study, the New Industrial Revolution, highlights the key changes that will shape future supply chains and drive occupier demand
for logistics property over the next 5-10 years in Europe. By providing insight into how supply chains could be modified, we aim to help
businesses plan their future physical distribution networks and spotlight how developers and investors can unlock value and enhance
the performance of their logistics property assets. A better awareness of supply chain trends is critical to a better understanding of
real estate opportunities – whether you are a corporate occupier, a developer or an investor.
