The 2nd China Logistics Technology and Equipment Summit in January 2013

　　Currently, the characteristics of economic globalization are becoming increasingly evident, and in recent years, China has accelerated the internationalization process of its enterprises. Logistics technology and equipment also need to move towards globalization. Especially with the entry of a large number of multinational companies, competition in China's logistics technology and equipment industry is becoming increasingly fierce, which requires Chinese enterprises to rebuild their logistics systems using modern logistics technology and equipment to reduce costs, improve efficiency, and enhance market competitiveness. It has been proven that modernizing enterprise logistics equipment to improve management levels and achieve maximum profit margins has become a shortcut to success for visionary entrepreneurs. At present, China's logistics industry is still in its infancy, and the development of the logistics industry still lags significantly behind that of relatively developed countries in Europe and America. However, although the industry as a whole is relatively backward, it brings great development space for the future of the logistics industry, becoming a sunrise industry with huge growth potential. The market demand for logistics equipment will increase significantly, providing good development opportunities for the entire industry, and logistics equipment and information technology are gradually becoming the core of logistics technology. However, there is still a certain lag in the field of logistics equipment technology. The market is in a low-level competitive stage, lacking leading enterprises to guide and promote it, and long-term development strategic planning is still imperfect. In such a situation, for the industry to achieve sustained growth, it is essential to recognize the situation and find the right direction.

　　"Good wind relies on strength to send me to the blue clouds." The 2013 Second China Logistics Technology and Equipment Summit (abbreviated in English as: CLTES) and the 2012 China Logistics Technology and Equipment Industry Top Ten Selection Award Ceremony, hosted by the Logistics Search Network, will soon kick off at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse in Beijing—this is a gathering of industry elites, a brainstorming session for thinkers, and a feast of wisdom.

　　CLTES is a leading logistics technology and equipment industry event in China and even globally. The 2012 China Logistics Technology and Equipment Industry Top Ten Selection, which aims to promote and recognize individuals and enterprises that have made outstanding contributions to the Chinese logistics equipment industry, is known as the "Oscar" ceremony of the Chinese logistics industry.

　　The 2013 CLTES summit will include two days of meetings featuring keynote speeches, leader forums, and roundtable discussions. In terms of keynote speeches and forums, executives from the forefront of the global logistics technology and equipment industry will present topics related to logistics technology and equipment and cross-industry issues to well-known high-level users and attendees, gathering and sharing the most cutting-edge thoughts globally, engaging in the hottest interactive discussions, and bringing a feast of visionary ideas that will impact the industry's progress. The Top Ten Selection, as the most comprehensive, high-end specification, and widely influential selection activity in the logistics industry, aims to find direction and standards for the development of the Chinese logistics technology and equipment industry.

　　The convening of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China has brought great benefits to the logistics industry. The upcoming political system reform is an important part of China's comprehensive reform, and for the logistics industry, the accompanying administrative system reform also means a good development opportunity and greater development space.

　　Against this backdrop, the 2013 China Logistics Technology and Equipment Summit and the 2012 China Logistics Technology and Equipment Industry Top Ten Selection aim to promote and recognize enterprises and leaders who have made outstanding contributions during the development of the Chinese logistics technology and equipment industry, seek industry leaders, promote sustainable and healthy development of the industry, and facilitate the linkage between manufacturing and logistics.

　　It is understood that since the launch of the "Top Ten Selection" activity, the awarded enterprises and leading figures have become typical examples in the Chinese logistics equipment industry, and the selection process has also become a barometer of the industry and a standard followed by the industry. This year's selection activity focuses on "finding positive energy in the industry," with an emphasis on commercial contributions to promote the progress of the logistics equipment industry.
