"Discuss Export Development and Forge Connections": Vitebsk Hosts Logistics Forum
The "Goods + Destination = Export" forum brought together representatives from across the country in Vitebsk. The main focus was on the development of export activities and the strategic importance of logistics in the current global market conditions.
– The primary objective of the forum is to discuss the development of our exports and all its components: correct routes, calculations, and, of course, logistics. We have over 20 logisticians in various fields. Today, it is important for us to forge connections between enterprises to further develop this area, – explained Vitaly Vabishchevich, Deputy Chairman of the Belarusian Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
The choice of Vitebsk as the venue is not accidental: it is part of the Chamber's strategy to develop republican forums not only in the capital but also in the regions.
– It is important for us to convey maximum information. We live in challenging times, and cargo needs to be transported under all circumstances. The goal of the forum is to establish as many connections as possible. For this purpose, we have created special breaks between speakers' presentations. In addition to Belarusian colleagues, there are guests from the Russian Federation, including representatives from the ports of Astrakhan, – noted Kirill Nesterovich, Director of the logistics company Frtight.by.
Over 20 speakers from all regions of Belarus, as well as from Moscow, Astrakhan, and St. Petersburg, discussed the trends in the development of global transport corridors for 2025-2026, the efficiency of multimodal transportation, the specifics and risks of sea, rail, and road routes, and much more.
