CONGRESS LETTER OF INVITATION
BACK TO THE FUTURE
It was 2002 that we first welcomed the
FIATA World Congress to Istanbul. All our
memories are fresh, however, and the event
is still recognized as one of the best FIATA
gatherings.
Back then, “Freight Logistics” was a rather
new concept for us in Turkey. Our association UTIKAD had undertaken the
mission to cultivate the culture of logistics in our country. Together with
our members, we discussed logistics on every platform, particularly how to
integrate logistics into our business transactions in order to lower the costs
of the various individual elements within the supply chain and eliminate
any bottlenecks between the connecting links.
There was a substantial motivation behind these discussions: the desire to
develop the country on a macroeconomic level by integrating its economy
with the world’s, to enjoy the benefits of globalization, and to increase
overall production and foreign trade. With its geo-strategic location, Turkey
also possessed the potential to become a hub for Eurasia, where the most
East of the West and the most West of the East could shake hands.
Today, freight logistics is an integral part of sustainable development and
growth all over the world. As logistics is a catalyst for development, the
growth of logistics itself must also be sustained to meet the demand.
The growth of global production and acceleration of urbanization created
a demand for more investment and increased capacities in logistics. We
need more roads, railways, airports, bridges, ports, and logistics centers.
We must create new and additional trade routes in harmony with our
environmental consciousness through a modal shift from road to rail
and short-sea shipping. We should also raise the quality of our industry’s
human resources in parallel to these changes.
All these dynamics can be condensed into the ultimate aim of our industry:
“Sustainable Growth in Logistics.”
This is our motto for the 2014 FIATA World Congress in ISTANBUL.
ISTANBUL is not just about business, nor merely an interesting place to
discuss logistics. It is a cradle of civilizations, the historical capital of the
Romans, the Byzantines and the Ottomans, and an exciting mosaic of all
faiths and beliefs.
You are all cordially invited to Istanbul, widely regarded as one of the most
fascinating cities of the world with its history, culture, and passion.
Turgut Erkeskin
UTIKAD President
Dear friends and colleagues,
As President of FIATA, it is my distinct
pleasure to extend an invitation to
each of you to participate in the
upcoming FIATA World Congress in
October. This year’s Congress promises
to be special, as the magnificent city of
Istanbul serves as our host. The city itself spans two continents and
has played an integral role in the history of trade. For millennia,
Istanbul has served as the trading point at the crossroads of Europe,
Asia, and the Middle East, which today represents half of all world
trade. This is the ideal place for our industry, as the facilitators of
trade, to gather and discuss the future while reflecting on the past.
However, Istanbul does not simply live in the past. Presently, the
Turkish economy is growing strongly and is a key driver of growth
for Southern Europe and the Mediterranean. One must only look
to the growing role and global market share of the Turkish logistics
and transportation industry, Turkish Airlines springs to mind, to see
evidence of this. This also manifests itself in the proactive role that
UTIKAD has played in FIATA in recent years.
We are preparing an exciting Congress for you and you can look
forward to a very interesting agenda including: several new
FIATA projects will be presented to the industry; updates from the
various Institutes, Advisory Bodies, and Working Groups; and guest
speakers that will enrich our knowledge of trends in different areas
of interest to our industry.
So my friends and colleagues, I extended to you again the invitation
to register and participate in the 2014 FIATA World Congress. I look
forward to welcoming you in Istanbul.
Sincerely,
Francesco Parisi
FIATA President
