Welcome to Copenhagen

Welcome to Copenhagen! Today is a special day for us. We have invited 15 of our top customers to the Customs Client Forum (CCF) 2024 at Maersk Headquarters. We call the event ’Voice of the Customer’.

This is a Round-Table dialogue to learn how we together can make global trade faster, easier, safer, while more predictible & resilient.

In Maersk we are on a transformation journey to become an integrator of trade. Customs is a key element of end-to-end solutions for international trade. When we develop our solutions we do so with co-design in close partnership with our customers.

The global Customs Client Forum (CCF) that we are running today is a key instrument for that co-design & during the meeting we will in an open dialogue talk about e.g; trade & customs digitalization & the new trade compliance landscape emerging with new multitier ESG regulations on the way in all regions, making a complex global trade environment even more complicated. What are the pains & challenges of international trade & what can we do about it?

To our help during the CCF Round-Table we will have Dr. Ralph Ossa, Chief Economist of the World Trade Organization & Mr. Philippe Isler Isler, Executive Secretary of the Global Alliance for Trade Facilitation at the World Economic Forum. Two leaders & superexperts that will share their knowledge & experiences.

The Customs Client Forum (CCaf) Round-Table dialogue is a technical product version of the Strategic Customer Council (SCC) that we in Maersk has been organizing with clients the lastvyears a meeting between customers executives & executive leadership team.

We will take the CCF concept on tour to all regions going forward so look out for when we are in your town.

We are looking forward to welcome our customers to the future – out joint future.

The future is not something that arrives, it is something we create. We start today.
