Two years filled with curveballs have equipped the logistics industry with the experience to tackle any challenges. For us at New Silk Road Network, watching and learning from our industry has given us the same determination and motivation to handle the pandemic induced curveballs seen this year too.

Though our Annual General Meeting was planned to be hosted in the world's business centre, Dubai, the closing borders, and the anxiety of a pandemic became a barrier. However, this did not deter us from our dedication to bringing our members and partners together. Instead of an Annual General Meeting, we decided to host a Regional-Meet Up here in our hometown Bremen.

The objective of the Regional Meet-Up was to bring together companies who could travel to Germany without quarantine restrictions. Those who could not join the event in person yet again had the opportunity to meet companies virtually.

Our live meeting saw over 45 delegates representing 31 companies present in Bremen, many overcoming long distance drives or multiple flight changes to get here. Our special virtual set up accommodated another 15 companies from countries such as China, Turkmenistan, UAE, Kazakhstan, Belarus, India etc. We feel very lucky to have such companies and people in our community, who show full commitment with their time and presence in these trying times.

With an action-packed agenda consisting of 1-to-1 meetings, a cocktail reception, a gala dinner, and a port tour, our members and partners made not only new connections and business, but also new friends.

See you all very soon!
