The 4th GSS: Forecast the future and consolidate market

As the world's most influential and one of the five major shipping conferences, Global Shipping Summit has a goal to forecast future, aggregate market and lead the economic development of regional port and shipping. With this goal, GSS has been successfully held for three times and become a meeting widely recognized by the international shipping industry. It is also known as "sea Davos."

At GSS 2007, GSS committee chairman and SHIPPINGCHINA CEO Mr. Kang Shuchun appeal to all the participants: "If we do not live for tomorrow, then tomorrow we are living in the past." Similarly, two years ago, Kang Shuchun presented to the industry "blue new economy" thinking. By now the financial crisis has persisted for over a whole year and the initially proposed Blue Ocean Economy has been recognized by the shipping industry. 　

At 2009 GSS, Mr. Kang Shunchun makes a speech like this: “When the financial crisis sweeps the globe and many companies are struggling and are even at the edge of bankruptcy, people suddenly wake up: tomorrow has come.

Roosevelt said that the only thing we fear is fear itself. Premier Wen Jiabao also advised us that confidence is more important than currency and gold. In the face of this global economic crisis, courage is the sharpest weapons. Some people think that today's economic crisis was triggered by innovation, but I think that innovation is the eternal theme of human development and progress. However, the innovation process is fraught with risks, and there are both success and failures. If necessary, the failure is even more important than diamonds because successive failures will distinguish a real, true and innovative products and services. To rescue of the current crisis, I think our focus should be on demand, reality and person. The ecological environment, industry patterns, and the supply chain structure will be greatly changed after the financial storm. The main goal of GSS is to discuss how we can live better, how can we live to tomorrow. "Mr. Kang Shuchun seen that the thrust of the summit sea.”
