The congress is organized by the Boîtes à Vélo association.

This association pursues a non-partisan objective of social utility and general interest, through its actions aimed at developing and sustaining bicycle entrepreneurship in France.

It contributes to the widespread use of bicycles as an alternative to motorized vehicles for transporting goods and people in urban, suburban and rural areas.

The aim of the Boîtes à Vélo Congress is to bring together all professional players with an interest in cyclologistics: trade federations, major companies, representatives of local authorities and the association’s partners. The exhibitors’ village and cargo bike test track are open to test solutions.

It’s a time for exchanges between the various players, with workshops on topical issues.
