Kuehne+Nagel’s documentary series Where Next Season 1 has been recognised with six awards at the Internationale Wirtschaftsfilmtage 2026 in Vienna, receiving three Gold and three Silver distinctions in a strong endorsement of the series’ impact and storytelling. 

The awards span documentary, event and digital content categories, reflecting the breadth of the series and its ability to engage audiences across different formats and platforms.

For everyone involved in bringing Where Next to life, this recognition is a meaningful milestone. As one of Europe’s leading corporate film festivals, the Internationale Wirtschaftsfilmtage celebrates excellence in storytelling, innovation and business communication. Receiving six awards among an international field of entries is both an honour and a testament to the ambition behind the series. 

The recognition also reflects the growing role of Where Next in fostering conversations that extend beyond traditional corporate narratives. 

As Marco Strolz, Global Head of Brand at Kuehne+Nagel, puts it: “Our series is built on a simple conviction: that a logistics company like ours has something genuinely interesting to say about how global commerce shapes the world we live in.”  

Developed in collaboration with experts across science, engineering, economics and design, the series explores the semiconductor industry, a critical yet fragile global supply chain, and reflects a broader ambition to engage with systemic change. 

Where Next Season 2: Crisis, Hope and Opportunity, released on May 12, 2026, expands this perspective. It examines how overlapping pressures, from climate change and economic uncertainty to social disruption and rapid technological change, are reshaping the path towards more resilient futures.
