1 Emerging Markets Conference The Address Dubai Marina June 4th/5th 2014 Conference Partner Sponsored by: Supported by:

2 Introduction The Conference Thank you for choosing to attend the Transport Intelligence Emerging Markets conference. This is our 5th conference but the first to be held in the dynamic hub that is Dubai. As advisors to governments, manufacturers, retailers, logistics companies, banks and consultancies, Transport Intelligence is widely viewed as the market leader in research and analysis for the global logistics industry and our conferences are valued because of this. Thank you from Not only will delegates take away the knowledge, experience and learning from the two-day conference, but has also provided each delegate with a USB containing two whitepaper reports: Emerging Markets Whitepaper May 2014 The Middle East Market Whitepaper Series These reports have been written and produced by s senior analysts and offer exclusive and unique insights into the global logistics industry. Ti has developed a market leading position in the provision of research on the logistics industry in Emerging Markets. Its consultants regularly undertake research projects in developing markets (including the Middle East) and publish benchmark reports on the development of these markets. In addition to this, for five years Ti has published a unique index comparing the world s major developing logistics markets, identifying the key attributes which make the markets an attractive investment proposition. Why Emerging Markets? Emerging Markets hold the key to the development of the global logistics industry over the next twenty years. Whilst developed economies struggle to come to terms with the huge levels of debt, newly industrialised markets are showing strong growth prospects as manufacturers and investors look at low cost production locations. This in turn has led to urbanisation and development of more affluent middle classes in regions such as Middle East, Africa, Latin America and Asia Pacific. Many believe that this will result in a new supply chain paradigm over the coming years - shipping and air cargo flows will become less Europe and North American-centric and truly global networks will develop, encompassing and integrating all major regions. As the world s most prominent logistics research organisation, Ti regularly brings together leading experts to discuss and identify the trends which will mould the future of the industry. It frequently publishes research papers developed by its expert analysts. Ti has successfully brought together the research from these programs into a content-rich and insightful 2 day conference. However, corruption, security, poor infrastructure, a lack of developed logistics services are all major challenges which will hold back development. The Emerging Markets Conference, Dubai, will create a forum for all the major stakeholders - carriers, shippers, forwarders, shipping lines, governments, consultants and others - to discuss these critical issues. 3

How are suppliers and customers benefitting and perhaps not benefitting? Air and Sea What are the strategies of the airlines/ shipping lines? Will these strategies create overcapacity? See-air integration does it have a future? Will shipping lines strategies improve or diminish the UAE and other countries as hubs? Will the Middle East end up being by-passed?
