CLECAT is pleased to invite you to its annual Freight Forwarders’ Forum – a full-day online event on

LOGISTICS PUT TO TEST AT TIMES OF CRISIS

The COVID-19 pandemic has been testing the resilience of logistics supply chains across the globe. No business has been immune to the crisis and profound disruptions have been felt throughout the freight and logistics industry. The European Commission believes its recovery plan provides an unprecedented opportunity to move towards the smart and carbon-neutral transport and mobility system of the future. This comes at a time of pressure on services, new relationship with the UK and capacity shortages in air freight. Will this be sufficient for EU companies to remain competitive?
