With the increasing demand for COVID-19 prevention materials and medicines, multimodal transportation between China and Europe plays an important role. This is especially true for the so-called cold chain logistics solutions, which are required to transport pharmaceutical products along these long distances. In the Netherlands, cold chain logistics for the pharmaceutical industry is in full swing.

The webinar is held by the Consulate-General of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Chongqing (China), Holland International Distribution Council, Urban Logistics Branch of China Communications and Transportation Association and China Logistics Time Magazine.
