Under the patronage of H.H. Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, the 2024 FIATA RAME Field Meeting and Conference, hosted by the UAE National Association of Freight and Logistics (NAFL), is set to redefine logistics strategies in the Middle East and Africa (MEA).

The pivotal event, scheduled for March 5-6, 2024, in Dubai, is a must-attend for professionals in the logistics sector.

Strategic discussions on future logistics trends

With the logistics market projected to reach USD 16.36 trillion by 2027, the MEA region emerges as a key player.

The conference will bring together industry leaders to discuss sustainable strategies and innovative solutions against global trade challenges.

A primary focus will be on environmental sustainability in logistics, with discussions on green initiatives, carbon-neutral technologies, and leveraging advancements in automation, blockchain, and AI to optimise supply chains.

Multimodal transport and resilient supply chains

Dr Stéphane Graber, FIATA Director General, emphasised the conference’s role in exploring resilient supply chain solutions in light of the ongoing crises in the Middle East.

He stated, “This is an opportunity to explore how to build a more resilient supply chain given the ongoing crises in the Middle East, with the use of multimodal transport to support and facilitate the industry cargo flow.”

Nadia Abdul Aziz, President of NAFL, pointed out the UAE’s strategic importance as a logistics hub for the GCC and wider MEA region.

She highlighted, “With its focus on key themes, insightful discussions, and networking opportunities, the conference will contribute to shaping a more efficient, sustainable, and collaborative future for the logistics and trade industry in the MEA region and beyond.”
