As Chinese companies seek new growth opportunities in the global marketplace, establishing efficient overseas platforms, reliable resource channels, and stable business networks has become a critical challenge. The Shenzhen Logistics and Supply Chain Management Association (SLSCMA) is addressing these needs by creating international support systems for domestic enterprises expanding abroad.
Government Recognition of Strategic Initiatives
The association's efforts recently gained official endorsement during a December 12 visit by Yin Hong, Commissioner of the Ministry of Commerce's Shenzhen Office. The meeting with SLSCMA Secretary-General Zheng Yanling focused on Shenzhen's logistics ecosystem, cross-border e-commerce development, and the association's international expansion strategy.
Building a Global Support Network
SLSCMA's core mission centers on standardizing and elevating China's logistics and supply chain services to international standards. To facilitate overseas expansion, the association has established regional entities including:
- The Eurasia Supply Chain Association in The Hague
- The North America Supply Chain Association in Monterrey
- The Americas Supply Chain Association in Los Angeles
- A Singapore-based Enterprise Service Center
These localized institutions provide comprehensive support through:
- Market integration platforms for information exchange and resource coordination
- Access to local government contacts, trade associations, and business networks
- Infrastructure development for sales channels and supply chain operations
- Localized professional services including legal, tax, and market analysis support
ASEAN Expansion Through 2025 Expo
SLSCMA plans to further strengthen regional ties through the "Go Global ASEAN Expo" scheduled for June 11-13, 2025 in Thailand. The event will create an integrated ecosystem for cross-border e-commerce and manufacturing, connecting Chinese enterprises with ASEAN and Western supply chains. Key opportunities include:
- Market development through local partnership cultivation
- Supply chain optimization to reduce logistics costs
- Integration with regional industry organizations
- Enhanced international brand visibility
Collaborative Future Development
Commissioner Yin commended SLSCMA's innovative approach and practical support for businesses, expressing interest in establishing regular communication channels and joint research initiatives. Secretary-General Zheng affirmed the association's commitment to strengthening government collaboration while continuing to serve as a bridge between policymakers and enterprises.
The organization maintains its focus on reducing operational burdens for companies while providing data-driven policy recommendations to support China's global commercial expansion.
