STORM Real Estate was recognised at the SITL 2026 Start-up Contest, one of Europe's major transport and logistics events. This recognition confirms the relevance of its positioning: structuring and digitalising a still largely fragmented market — logistics real estate. Held from 31 March to 2 April 2026 at Paris Nord Villepinte, SITL has brought together the key players of the supply chain for over 40 years. Each year, its Start-up Contest highlights the most innovative solutions capable of addressing the sector's real challenges.
A distinction awarded by an industry expert jury
In this 2026 edition, several start-ups were selected to present their solution to a jury of logistics experts, in a demanding 3-minute pitch format. Following these presentations, STORM was recognised for its digital platform dedicated to logistics real estate.
The jury particularly highlighted:
- a clear approach to a highly specific market,
- strong scaling potential,
- the ability to address a structural cost of logistics operations.
This recognition places STORM among the most promising solutions in the sector.
A platform designed to structure the market
STORM positions itself as a digital platform that directly connects users, owners and investors in logistics real estate.
In a historically complex and opaque market, this approach aims to simplify and streamline access to information and opportunities. Logistics real estate represents a major strategic lever for companies, particularly in a context marked by:
- the acceleration of e-commerce,
- the need to optimise flows,
- pressure on delivery times,
- and the pursuit of operational performance.
By addressing these challenges, STORM is fully aligned with the structural transformations of the sector.
Innovation aligned with real-world needs
The 2026 edition of the Start-up Contest highlighted a strong trend: innovation in logistics no longer relies solely on technology, but on the ability to offer concrete, useful and rapidly deployable solutions.
Among the key themes identified:
- intelligent use of data,
- optimisation of logistics flows,
- decision-support tools,
- and real estate innovation.
This is precisely the dynamic in which STORM operates, bringing a structuring solution to a genuine market need.
A recognition supported by the SITL ecosystem
Beyond the award itself, this distinction reflects the evolution of the logistics sector, where start-ups play an increasingly important role in transforming practices.
As the Director of SITL underlines, this edition confirms that the most relevant solutions are those that directly address operational needs on the ground. The contest partner, meanwhile, highlights the maturity of the projects presented, capable of convincing decision-makers and integrating rapidly into the ecosystem.
In this context, STORM stands out as a player capable of accompanying this transformation.
A key milestone in STORM's development
For STORM, this distinction marks an important milestone. As Emmanuel Quentin, President of STORM, states:
"We are honoured to have won this award, which highlights the efforts made by the company since its creation in terms of innovation in the logistics real estate sector."
This recognition strengthens the platform's credibility among market players and confirms the growing interest in solutions capable of structuring logistics real estate.
Towards a more readable, more fluid and more efficient market
Logistics real estate is evolving towards a more digital, more data-driven and more interconnected model. In this context, STORM aims to become a key entry point for:
- understanding the market,
- analysing opportunities,
- and delivering logistics real estate projects more effectively.
The recognition obtained at SITL 2026 is not an end in itself, but a strong validation of a vision: making logistics real estate more accessible, more readable and more actionable.
