Intermodal performs a vital function for the economy
Changes in the global scenario, the formation of economic blocs and the opening of domestic markets have demanded a restructuring in how the diverse economic sectors organize their productive activities. Competition is becoming increasingly stronger, forcing companies to constantly review their businesses, their qualifying criteria to compete and even to evaluate the configuration of their productive activities.
Thinking of a way to expand their horizons and strengthen company strategies, companies have viewed their participation in fairs as a differential. When resources are scarce, nothing is more important than ensuring investments are worthwhile, and business fairs have been performing a vital function for heating up exchanges in the production and distribution chains of several economic sectors. Foreign trade, logistics and transportation are also following this trend with all out participation in Intermodal South America, the most important international meeting of companies from these sectors. This year, the projection is for the number of exhibiters to grow 12%.
Intermodal gathers the entire product and service chain involved in foreign trade and it promotes, under the banner of intermodality, the discussion of equilibrium in the domestic transportation grid. It is able to bring the offer of demand closer and thus leverage business with the presence of the main players in foreign trade, logistics and global transportation. The public visiting the fair includes shipping agents from practically every economic segment who participate in the event in search of the best logistics solution for their cargo to reach the intended destination.
Besides the focus on business, Intermodal has been making its contribution by guaranteeing an environment of intense intellectual production, stimulating the discussion of solutions for logistics bottlenecks so characteristic in the country during one of the most important forums on the continent: the JoC South America Logiport.
With a vast program of conferences organized in partnership with the Journal of Commerce, the event is held simultaneously with Intermodal and offers an unparalleled opportunity to learn the most modern approaches on the topic whose authorship belongs to uncontested experts in the globalized market. There will be a total of ten panels divided into three main topics: International Maritime Summit, South American Transportation Summit and Air Cargo South America Summit.
