For GFWE, these discussions are closely connected with the freight forwarding industry. Changes in manufacturing, investment, international trade, and supply chains directly influence global cargo flows and the logistics requirements of companies around the world.
Connecting Logistics with the Sino-German Business Community
International logistics is an essential part of global business. Companies expanding into overseas markets rely on experienced freight forwarders and trusted local partners to coordinate transportation, customs procedures, cargo handling, and delivery across different countries.
GFWE's participation in the Economic Outlook provided an opportunity to engage directly with members of the Sino-German business community and better understand the evolving needs of internationally active companies.
In conversations throughout the event, GFWE representatives introduced the Global Freight World E-Alliance to professionals from different industries: an international network designed to connect freight forwarders, logistics companies, and overseas partners across countries and regions, and to address a common challenge in the industry: finding the right overseas partner efficiently.
Networking at the Spring Reception
Following the keynote sessions and panel discussion, the event continued with the German Chamber Spring Reception.

A Smarter Way to Find Global Freight Partners
As GFWE continues to develop, technology will play an increasingly important role in the network. Through AI-powered partner matching, freight forwarders can identify potential partners based on destinations, trade lanes, cargo types, required services, and specific business needs.
Combined with verified membership, direct communication, global networking, and member promotion opportunities, GFWE aims to create a more efficient environment for freight forwarders to find and connect with suitable partners.
GFWE would like to thank the German Chamber of Commerce in China – South & Southwest for the invitation and the opportunity to take part in the German Chamber Economic Outlook 2024 – Shenzhen Edition.
We look forward to continuing our engagement with the Sino-German business community and building stronger connections between freight forwarders and businesses around the world.
Less searching. Less waiting. More real business.
GFWE — Find the Right Partner. Faster.
