  3. What can we do? • Encouraging companies to collaborate • Bundling of flow of goods • Clustering of activities

  4. Fundamentals • Total logistics cost is top criterion • More than transportation cost, including cost of inventory, waiting time, flexibility, reliability… • Bottom-line for companies • Basic ideas: • Locate logistic operations at the place of their minimal total logistics cost • Bundling of flows • International gateways are the nodes of the network and must be encouraged to attract flows of goods • Identification and classification of the logistics hotspots of the Extended Gateway network • Creation of added value within the Extended Gateway network

  5. A total concept • A integrated vision on logistics, a clear strategy • Prime location guaranteed, depending on the requirements of customers, products and logistics • Clustering of companies with comparable logistics characteristics for bundling flow of goods • Lower total logistics cost • Improved use of multimodal transport and collaboration among companies • Improved spatial planning, labour spread, mobility, environmental care… • Powerful strategic decision support tool • …With on top an ICT-platform
