Barge to Business will consist of two pillars – a business to business pillar, called Danube Business Dating, which offers an opportunity for the inland navigation community and logistics service providers to showcase their network to logistics and supply chain managers wishing to add inland navigation to their transport options.

The second pillar is an information market, consisting of business-orientated presentations and debates covering inland waterways specialised services, new technologies, innovative solutions and learning by example. Barge to Business 2012 will take place in the Aula der Wissenschaften (Wollzeile 27A, 1010 Vienna), a prominent location in the heart of the Austrian capital of Vienna.

In the evening participants can meet each other in a relaxing atmosphere at the Dachfoyer of Hofburg (Josefplatz, 1000 Vienna).
