Monthly Members Meeting in September 2024: DFA Keynotes
We're excited to share the key highlights from our September Digital Freight Alliance meeting. This regular meeting is a great way to meet with DFA members. To begin, let’s discuss the topics we covered in our previous meeting. It was a great experience and a good chance to learn.
Vision & Strategy
The Digital Freight Alliance was started in early 2020 as a group of delivery companies using SeaRates tools. DFA aims to be the most important group for independent freight forwarders and includes over 190 countries. DFA is the first choice, even with a lot of competition, because it uses new ideas and technology. It always tries to create new chances for its members.
To grasp how a bigger vision developed from this starting point, it's significant to know that DFA started in DP World. DP World started because of Dubai's culture as a place for trade. As trade restrictions have increased worldwide in the last ten years, DP World believes that the digital revolution can help drive growth.
To achieve this growth, we need to help small to medium-sized shipping companies use digital tools so they can compete with larger companies that are already using them effectively. We think small and medium-sized forwarders who can expand internationally are essential for success.
