H1 Business Group meeting

The second half of the year is often when business plans stop being theoretical.

Companies have to make decisions with incomplete information: how the market will change, which risks may become structural, where costs will move and which assumptions will still hold in a few months.

Logistics is a good example. Trade flows, transportation costs, supply chain configurations and external conditions continue to evolve, making it increasingly difficult to plan 2027 using yesterday’s assumptions.

The more uncertain the environment, the more important it becomes to distinguish between a temporary disruption and a change that requires a different approach.

This is also why discussions about business results and 2027 planning need to include logistics and foreign trade. They are no longer just operational topics, they directly influence the resilience, cost structure and growth opportunities of a business.

This was one of the topics discussed at the H1 Business Group meeting that took place at Baltschug Kempinski Moscow Hotel where Anton Grechko, NOYTECH Chief Commercial Officer spoke about the state of logistics and foreign trade in the second half of 2026 and the outlook for 2027.
