The upcoming Mindanao Shipping Conference 2024, set for September 6 in Davao City, Philippines, is poised to be a pivotal event in advancing global trade and logistics. With its strategic location along the Davao Gulf, the Davao Region, also known as Region XI, is emerging as a prime contender for becoming an international logistics hub, offering an ideal alternative to established centers like Singapore.
The Davao Region’s unique position as a trade gateway to major economies such as China, Japan, and the ASEAN nations, including the BIMP-EAGA subregion, makes it an attractive focal point for investment and development. The envisioned global transshipment hub is expected to significantly boost regional competitiveness, enhance trade connectivity, and attract increased investment.
Public and private sector experts are set to gather at the conference to discuss the region’s potential and explore pathways to sustainable logistics under the theme, “Navigating Global Trade: Pathways to Sustainable Logistics.” The event will highlight the region’s readiness to take on a more prominent role in the international logistics landscape, further solidifying the Philippines’ position in global trade.
The strong support from local trade and logistics players underscores the commitment to developing Region XI into a thriving logistics hub. The conference promises to be a key milestone in the region’s journey towards greater connectivity and economic growth.
