Hyve Group has announced another major expansion of its fast-growing logistics and supply chain exhibition brand, Manifest, marking the launch of its third European geoclone within just six months. The move highlights the increasing global demand for specialised industry events focused on supply chain innovation, logistics technology, and future mobility solutions. Manifest Europe will take place at FIL in Lisbon from 19- 21st October 2027.
Manifest, originally established in the United States, has rapidly gained international attention for bringing together key stakeholders from across logistics, transportation, e-commerce, infrastructure, and supply chain technology sectors. By expanding the brand into multiple European markets, Hyve Group aims to strengthen its position within one of the world’s fastest-evolving industrial sectors while creating new opportunities for global networking, collaboration, and business growth.
“Manifest has seen strong growth in the U.S., and expanding it into Europe is a natural next step. The supply chain and logistics sector continues to evolve rapidly, and Europe is a critical part of that landscape. This launch is another strong example of our strategy in action, and we’re already seeing clear demand for a European edition of Manifest,” emphasised Mr. Mark Shashoua, CEO, Hyve Group.
The latest expansion reflects Hyve Group’s broader strategy of scaling successful event brands internationally through region-specific editions, often referred to as geoclones. Over the past six months, the company has accelerated this strategy across Europe, responding to rising industry demand for events that connect technology providers, logistics operators, manufacturers, retailers, investors, and policymakers under one platform.
Following the acquisition of Manifest in May 2025, the brand has continued to grow strongly, with attendance increasing 20% in its first edition as part of Hyve. The European editions of Manifest are expected to focus heavily on topics shaping the future of global supply chains, including artificial intelligence, warehouse automation, sustainable logistics, transportation technology, data-driven operations, last-mile delivery, and digital transformation. As supply chains continue to face challenges linked to sustainability, efficiency, and geopolitical shifts, industry events like Manifest are becoming increasingly important for knowledge exchange and strategic partnerships.
Hyve Group stated that the rapid expansion of Manifest demonstrates both the scalability of the brand and the strong appetite for innovation-led business events across Europe. The company continues to invest in sector-focused platforms that deliver targeted audiences, high-value networking opportunities, and international business engagement.
The growth of Manifest also reflects the wider evolution of the exhibition industry, where highly specialised events are becoming central to industry development and business decision-making. With Europe remaining a key hub for logistics, manufacturing, and trade, Hyve Group’s expansion strategy positions Manifest as an increasingly influential platform within the global supply chain and logistics exhibition landscape.
