A network of overland corridors & maritime routes
What is the BRI?
In 2013, China announced the “Belt & Road” Initiative, also dubbed the “New Silk Road”. This is one of the largest infrastructure project to date, with mass development and investment involved. While there is no exact border, it is generally interpreted as a network of overland corridors (New Silk Road Economic Belt) and maritime routes (21st Century Maritime Silk Road)

The BRI covers 5 aspects on a broad scale.

Policy coordination

to support large scale infrastructure development projects

Facilities

which service the purpose of connecting countries along the Belt and Road

Cultural exchange

between people

Financial integration

and collaboration

Cross-border trade

investment and supply chain cooperation

Major economic Corridors

The New Eurasia Land Bridge

China-Mongolia-Russia

China-Central Asia-West Asia

China-Indochina Peninsula

Bangladesh, China, India, Myanmar

China-Pakistan

The large coverage and scale indicate that no land will be able to avoid the impact of what will be a new EuroAsia era.

What This Means for Logistics Companies
The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is without doubt one of the largest global development projects to ever take place in history. With investments in infrastructure, trade boosting programs and new logistical facilities connecting both developed and upcoming hubs, the global supply chain is being reshaped.

Logistics companies are often at the forefront of change. They experience in daily business the fluctuations in import and export; they feel the impact almost immediately when certain trade and transport routes are congested; and they are also constantly looking for new and better ways to transport goods.

With the development of the economic corridors and maritime silk road, new opportunities await. The New Silk Road Network is there to help small and medium sized logistics companies leverage these opportunities. By creating a selective community of members and partners, and stimulating the exchange of information, know-how and business, we enable them to benefit from the impact of the Belt and Road Initiative.
