The region is undergoing an exciting process of global, regional and local development in terms of transport and logistics. With the explosive growth of global and regional trade, particularly between Europe and Asia but also within the broader region, there exist unprecedented opportunities to capitalise on the unique strength of its favorable geographic location.
Key regional government strategies for the development of the transport and logistics sector require an industry structure in which medium to large logistics service providers play a more prominent role, especially in the key areas of: |
█ Global multimodal transport and logistics hub
█ Regional logistics and distribution hub
█ Domestic focused transport and logistics services |
| Energising Regional Information & Communications Technology |
|
The attending Governments increasingly support the idea that information and communication technologies (ICT) can be made available to all citizens to truly improve their lives.
Key components include: |
| █ Policy makers and regulatory authorities striving to democratise access to all telecommunications services and encourage further innovation in the sector
█ The delivery of communications, services, information and entertainment becoming increasingly digital, standardised, affordable and easy-to-use
█ How Internet Protocol is driving the integration of voice, data and media platforms We look forward to seeing you in Istanbul |
