Apaccold was invited to participate in the 14th Global Cold Chain Summit 2022 to discuss the new pattern of international cold storage evolution
On August 18-19, 2022, the "14th Global Cold Chain Summit 2022" hosted by the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing and the Global Cold Chain Alliance and undertaken by the Cold Chain Logistics Professional Committee of the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing was successfully held in Wuhan, and the conference brought together hundreds of enterprises, related institutions and enterprise representatives from the upstream and downstream of the cold chain at home and abroad to participate in the conference, and ApacCold, as the supporting unit of the conference, was invited to attend the event. With the theme of "Diversified Symbiosis and Cycle Acceleration", the summit focused on the pain points and difficulties of the industry, talked about the future development of the industry, the common needs and problems of the development of the industry, conducted in-depth discussions on industry issues and development trends, and strived to break through bottlenecks and eliminate barriers, and promote the high-quality development of cold chain logistics during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period.
As an interactive guest, Mr.Dickson, President and CEO of ApacCold, was invited to participate in a parallel forum with the theme of "Intelligent, Diversified and Capitalized Cold Storage", and conducted in-depth dialogue and discussion on the new pattern of international cold storage evolution. In recent years, the rapid growth of global demand for cold chain food, coupled with the continuous improvement of the business environment in various countries, has led to the continuous expansion of the scale of the cold chain market, and the speed and intensity of cold storage construction at home and abroad are unprecedented. Especially under the impact of the epidemic, the pilot of real estate investment funds in the REITs infrastructure sector has started, which has led to increasingly fierce competition in high-standard libraries and continuous expansion of capital. Cold chain infrastructure construction will further improve the various basic facilities and service capabilities at both ends of the cold chain and circulation links in the gradual deepening of policies, and will also gradually precipitate systematically and systematically. Mr.Dickson said that in the face of cold storage competition pressure, we must explore professional paths from multiple angles such as planning and operation, improve the rationality and utilization of resources, and the construction of high-standard libraries, first of all, need to be clear about why the cold storage is built, the positioning of cold storage and customer groups should be clear, we must not blindly build libraries, investment needs to be rational and prudent. As a professional cold chain operator in China, the national strategic deployment of ApacCold has focused on and sunk to the third, fourth and fifth-tier cities, through the strategy of "bringing in" and "going out", promoting the digitalization process of upstream and downstream industries and building a food safety system, and helping the country to complete the "14th Five-Year Cold Chain Logistics Development Plan".
