NSRN’s founding member Langowski Logistics recently inaugurated another one of their own warehouses in Gdansk, Poland. This 3500 m2 warehouse is located in the Goodman Pomeranian Logistics Centre, with the DCT Container Terminal, A1 Highway and S7 road within close range. This is Langowksi Logistics’ second warehouse in Gdansk. The first warehouse was opened in 2017 and functioned as high bay storage. With the growing demand for warehouse logistics, Langowski decided to expand the total area to 7000 m2.
Disparities in global trade is a significant indicator of inequality in the world. Many countries which were invisible to superpower economies are now coming to the forefront thanks to the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). China’s BRI has created opportunities for countries that were ignored in the past decades, by investing in their economies, building infrastructure, and easing border regulations. A great example of this is the growing developmental projects in the numerous countries that form the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).

Joining a network is a strategic decision for many companies. It means being part of a community of like-minded people, who have the common goal of expanding their business network, learning from the experience of others, and in the end turning this into profit growth for themselves. The question arises, how should one use a network?
