Whenever I talk to people who founded a company, I often like to ask the prehistory questions ‘When did you meet? How long have you been working before you started the company?’ A bad answer is, ‘We met at a networking event a week ago, and we started a company because we both want to be entrepreneurs.’

—— Peter Thiel

To cater to the vast array of companies involved in the global supply chain along the New Silk Road, we have set up the following categories of membership:

• Forwarders
• Trucking
• Customs Clearance
• Warehousing

Partners: 

• Terminals
• Vessel / Rail Operators
• Logistics related digital services
• Consultants

Criteria

In order to qualify for membership, each company must submit an application form which will cover the following aspects:

• Company Profile / Presentation
• Geographic Coverage in Service
• Proof of financial soundness
• Relevant certificates such as ISO approval
• Proof of ownership for asset owning companies such as truckers and warehouses

In order to avoid the mass clustering of members, which could lead to difficulties for others to pin point the suitable partner to approach, we ask that you explicitly define which areas & regions you are strong in, and will cap the number of members admitted that possess the same know how.
