PORT-to-PORT THREE brings business leaders, logistics experts and international trade partners to C4DI in Hull for a morning of forums on ports, logistics, infrastructure, innovation and international trade.
A joint initiative between Hull & Humber Chamber of Commerce and C4DI, the PORT-to-PORT series looks at how the Humber's ports and supply chains connect the north of the UK to international markets.
A significant part of this third edition centres on the developing relationship between the Humber region and Bulgaria, with the British Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce taking part and a visiting Bulgarian delegation joining the international forum.
Maritime Up North supports and promotes the event to members across the north of the UK — it is a strong fit for anyone working in ports, freight, logistics technology, engineering services or maritime training.
