About the European Silk Road Summit

While the main route continues to exist, the last couple of years have given room to alternatives, bypasses and new cooperations. While the Eurasian corridor dominates, connections are made between the north and south as well. At the European Silk Road Summit 2023, we looked at the main route and the Middle Corridor. We also looked at the CEE region and zoom in on Hungary, which has become a logistics hotspot over the years. We also took a look at the multiple gateways of Europe, upcoming markets such as Central Asia and how geopolitics shape today’s corridors.

Topics on the agenda included:

✔️ Market analysis: What do the figures tell us about the Eurasian corridors?
✔️ The potential of the Central Asia connection to Europe
✔️ Achievements and bottlenecks on the main route and Middle Corridor
✔️ Nearshoring hotspots in the CEE
✔️ Hungary as a hotspot
✔️ Greece as a gateway to Europe
✔️ Geopolitics: Italy, the India-Middle East corridor and more
