The World in Focus

Global supply chains are changing faster than ever. Geopolitical developments, new trade routes, economic dynamics, and regional characteristics are increasingly influencing corporate decision-making. With its event series “The World in Focus,” the BVL has been offering a platform since 2022 where international markets, logistics regions, and future-oriented topics are presented and discussed firsthand. In collaboration with the international BVL Chapters and Representatives, the series focuses on countries and regions that are of particular importance for trade, transportation, and global supply chains. Experts from business, academia, and institutions provide in-depth insights, contextualize current developments, and highlight new opportunities for companies.

Firsthand insights ...

“The World in Focus” combines international expertise with practical information. Participants will learn:

which economic and geopolitical developments are shaping regions,
how international transport and trade corridors are changing,
what opportunities are emerging for companies and logistics service providers,
how global supply chains can be made more resilient and diversified,
and what new networks, partnerships, and markets are emerging.

Internationally connected - compact information ...

This format brings the international strength of the BVL network directly to participants.
The regional expertise of the BVL Chapters and Representatives combines with the experience of local companies, institutions, and experts.
This results in events that provide guidance, facilitate new connections, and convey international developments in a clear and practical way.

Understanding the World - Identifying Opportunities - Connecting Networks

Since the series began, numerous online lunchbreak events have been held with BVL chapters and representatives from Turkey, China, Poland, the U.S., and Eurasia. The presentations provide practical insights into regional markets, economic developments, and new challenges for international supply chains, and underscore the BVL’s commitment to global networking.
