Why We Participated in the FIATA HQ Meeting

The world has become a global village and we need to be prepared for the future. The logistics industry is one of the fastest-growing industries. In fact, it is expected that by 2025, it will be one of the largest industries in the world. This is why it is important to stay up-to-date with what is happening around us, and from the global space.

When we heard about FIATA’s Meeting in Geneva, we knew that attending would be beneficial for our company as well as our clients.

We wanted to make sure we were prepared for any changes that may come about in this fast-paced industry and make sure we are able to provide our clients with solutions no matter where they are located around the globe.

We are proud to be part of the global logistics community. The meeting was a great opportunity to connect with the industry leaders, share our experience and meet the latest technological developments in freight forwarding.

The FIATA HQ meeting was an opportunity for us to reconnect with the global trade community. As an international freight forwarder, we operate around the world and have many clients that have been working with us for over 26 years. We’ve learned from them that shipping globally requires access to information that is timely and reliable.

Our business relies on this access, so participating in this meeting was very important for us. We wanted to learn more about how our industry can better serve its customers while also helping the entire industry grow together through sharing information and ideas, and maintaining true reconnection.
