GIL used the opportunity to introduce AEA to its China Gateways project and seek their support in their development.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/project.mespilgroup.com\/GIL\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/china_gateway_625_286.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6826\" src=\"https:\/\/project.mespilgroup.com\/GIL\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/china_gateway_625_286.jpg\" alt=\"china_gateway_625_286\" width=\"625\" height=\"286\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThe aigo Entrepreneurs Alliance was founded in 2011 to promote leading brands from China\u2019s rapidly growing private sector. AEA is driven by the goal of helping more private Chinese businesses to become truly global enterprises and contributing corporate citizens worldwide.<br \/>\nThe port of Zeebrugge has an ideal location to serve the markets of continental Europe as well as the British Isles. It is a young seaport with modern port equipment suitable for the largest ships. Total cargo traffic through the Port tripled from 14 million tonnes in 1985 to 43.5 million tonnes in 2012. The port of Zeebrugge has become, in barely a couple of decades, one of the most important entry ports for the European market.<br \/>\nThe goal of \u2018China Gateway\u2019 is to create a \u201cHome from Home\u201d for Chinese companies going global by zoning areas in Ports specifically for Trade with China. The goal is to standardise the development of these parks in such a way to provide economies of scale, consistency, reliability, standardisation and add value to services rendered. Potentially \u2018China Gateway\u2019 will become a trademark associated with excellence in doing business with China.<br \/>\nThere is a potential for world ports to cooperate on zoning part of their ports as China Gateways to assist both import and export trade with China. These will serve as a trading \u2018Gateways\u2019 into world markets and being Port Centric will benefit from excellent transport connectivity via road, rail, water and air. China Gateways will include Showroom Spaces, Warehousing\/Storage and Assembly Facilities, and sell goods to the wholesale market.<br \/>\nTo win Chinese investment requires a strong understanding of its business culture and particularly the emphasis placed on Cooperation and Collaboration between business partners. For this reason, the China Gateway concept has Chinese Characteristics relying for its success on strong cooperation between a network of ports across the globe. China Gateways has the potential to become a recognisable \u2018Trademark\u2019 in global logistics.<br \/>\n<!-- Shortcode is missing \"name\" attribute --><br \/>\n<div class=\"addtoany_shortcode\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_32 addtoany_list\" data-a2a-url=\"https:\/\/project.mespilgroup.com\/GIL\/press-center\/2014-china-gateway-zeebrugge\/\" data-a2a-title=\"2014 CHINA GATEWAY ZEEBRUGGE\"><a class=\"a2a_button_facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/add_to\/facebook?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fproject.mespilgroup.com%2FGIL%2Fpress-center%2F2014-china-gateway-zeebrugge%2F&amp;linkname=2014%20CHINA%20GATEWAY%20ZEEBRUGGE\" title=\"Facebook\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_button_twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/add_to\/twitter?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fproject.mespilgroup.com%2FGIL%2Fpress-center%2F2014-china-gateway-zeebrugge%2F&amp;linkname=2014%20CHINA%20GATEWAY%20ZEEBRUGGE\" title=\"Twitter\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_button_linkedin\" href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/add_to\/linkedin?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fproject.mespilgroup.com%2FGIL%2Fpress-center%2F2014-china-gateway-zeebrugge%2F&amp;linkname=2014%20CHINA%20GATEWAY%20ZEEBRUGGE\" title=\"LinkedIn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_button_whatsapp\" href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/add_to\/whatsapp?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fproject.mespilgroup.com%2FGIL%2Fpress-center%2F2014-china-gateway-zeebrugge%2F&amp;linkname=2014%20CHINA%20GATEWAY%20ZEEBRUGGE\" title=\"WhatsApp\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save addtoany_share\" href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.addtoany.com\/buttons\/favicon.png\" alt=\"Share\"><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Press Information&gt; Presse-Information Dossier Presse &gt; Communicato Stampa &gt;\u65b0\u95fb\u7a3f ZEEBRUGGE APRIL 2014 AIGO ENTREPRENEURS ALLIANCE EUROPEAN TOUR A delegation from the aigo Entrepreneurs Alliance (AEA) led<span class=\"excerpt-hellip\"> [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":4585,"menu_order":28,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-13988","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/project.mespilgroup.com\/GIL\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13988"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/project.mespilgroup.com\/GIL\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/project.mespilgroup.com\/GIL\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/project.mespilgroup.com\/GIL\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/project.mespilgroup.com\/GIL\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13988"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/project.mespilgroup.com\/GIL\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13988\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21422,"href":"https:\/\/project.mespilgroup.com\/GIL\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13988\/revisions\/21422"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/project.mespilgroup.com\/GIL\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4585"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/project.mespilgroup.com\/GIL\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13988"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
