Circular on Holding “2020 Global Logistics Technology Conference”

All organizations concerned:

China Federation of Logistics & Purchasing (CFLP) has decided to hold “2020 Global Logistics Technology Conference” in Haikou on March 2-4, 2020.

Sponsored by CFLP, the “Global Logistics Technology Conference” has been held successfully for four times. With the support and participation of the top logistics technology development and application enterprises, research institutions, experts, and scholars from home and abroad, it has played a positive role in promoting the comprehensive improvement, development, and application of logistics technologies, and it has also become a panoramic platform for the forefront logistics technology development and application results in the world.

The rapid progress of logistics technologies not only promotes the development of the logistics industry, but also becomes a significant supporting force for the development of the national economy. It also  plays an increasingly crucial role in economic globalization and jointly-building the “The Belt and Road Initiative”. The conference this year is aimed to continue the theme “Technology Foresees the Future” and promote the transformation of China’s logistics technology from “binging in” to “going global”, and therefore, we have invited global logistics enterprises to experience the development and application of the most advanced intelligent transportation and storage technologies, packaging and pallet technologies, network and process design, supply chain finance and investment, 5G, AI technology, blockchain, cloud computing, big data, new-energy vehicles, driverless technologies, and other technologies in the logistics fields. We believe that talents of logistics industries all around the globe will gather together to share the latest achievements in R & D and innovative application of logistics technologies, which will bring about a grand international gathering of new logistics technology, new scenes and new applications.
