Dubai Logistics City (DLC), the world's first truly multimodal integrated logistics platform, being developed in Jebel Ali in the United Arab Emirates, will be European logisticians' subject study at SITL, Europe's leading business to business logistics event on Tuesday (March 11) in Paris, France. DLC, a key component of Dubai World Central (DWC), the huge 140 square kilometer urban aviation project centred around DWC-Al Maktoum International Airport - set to be the world's largest, will also be the focus of the “New Logistics Territories” theme of the event. SITL Europe provides users and suppliers in the logistics industry a complete access to the products and services of supply chain management. “The ‘New Logistics Territories' theme will encompass the three dimensions that have been driving the early 21st century economy - innovation, sustainable development and commercial efficiency,” said Michael Proffitt, DLC's CEO. “Most industrialists' concerns are centred around these three aspects which are found in Dubai Logistics City. “DLC's unique sea-air and multimodal concept has found widespread global acceptance and is now recognised as a hub for the wider region.” Proffitt will be a keynote speaker at the conference and will meet European groups that have shown keen interest in better understanding the innovative DLC hub proposition. More than 800 exhibitors and over 25,000 professionals visiting the event will get a first-hand exposure to the world-beating logistics platform model. “Demand for land at DLC is extremely high, with plot availability decreasing daily.” he said. __
