Netherlands – Hong Kong Logistics Seminar, Matchmaking & Networking Diner

Join us and our business delegation of more than 20 Dutch supply chain and logistics companies for an engaging discussion on the future of logistics between Europe and China. Discover how automation and digitalization are reshaping supply chains, while new EU regulations and compliance requirements create both challenges and opportunities for international businesses. Together with leading industry experts from the Netherlands and China, we will explore how companies can build more resilient, efficient and future-ready supply chains. 

 The seminar offers a unique opportunity to exchange insights with industry leaders, connect with Dutch logistics and supply chain companies, and explore new opportunities for collaboration across Europe and Asia.  Join us to discuss the technologies, regulations and strategies that are shaping the next generation of global supply chains and to expand your network over an informal networking dinner following the seminar.
