NeTworking and new Projects at Greater Region Business Days
The Cluster for Logistics was present at the "Cluster Village" of the Greater Region Business Days held in the halls of LuxExp on June 17 and 18th. Companies were able to meet the new manager Mr Malik Zeniti and inquire about the latest news and projects of the Cluster. Over 240 companies were registered this year and the Chamber of Commerce counted 3000 visitors.
We took the opportunity to meet companies from the Greater Region and beyond that can support the Luxembourg logistics sector. Several interesting projects for logistics companies included company credit reports, track and trace or video surveillance of transport routes.
A video will be available soon on www.merkur-tv.lu
The region of Honour this year was Kocaeli.
Kocaeli is a province located in the north-west of Turkey. It is about 50-75km far away from Istanbul, which is considered to be one of the most important metropolitan cities in the world. Because of its strategic location Kocaeli has always served as a connection between Europe and Asia. Kocaeli, which is bordered by two important seas, the Black Sea and the Marmara Sea, is today a logistics center opened to world markets, thanks to the availability of its several ports and an industrial port.
With 1.676.202 inhabitants and a population density of 445 persons per square kilometre, it also is one of the most populated provinces. In the North of the city you have railway and highway infrastructures, which are the main access roads of the country. Additionally, you have two airports that are about 50 and 90 km far away from Istanbul.
