Dimerco's Chiou highlights AI and ‘China+1’ strategies at DIGITIMES 2025, addressing supply chain shifts, emerging markets, and innovative logistics solutions.

TAIPEI, TAIWAN, December 12, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Industry leaders gathered at the DIGITIMES 2025 GenAI x Geopolitics Forum, held in partnership with Dimerco Express Group and China Airlines, to explore the profound impact of generative AI and geopolitical shifts on global supply chains and innovative logistics solutions.. The event, hosted at the Hua Nan Bank International Conference Center, brought together hundreds of professionals from technology, manufacturing, and logistics to tackle the pressing challenges of an evolving global landscape.

Navigating a Shifting Supply Chain Landscape
Under the theme "GenAI x Geopolitics – Intensifying Great Power Competition and Reshaping Supply Chain Strategies," the forum featured discussions on AI-driven innovation, semiconductor advancements, and strategies for addressing economic and geopolitical shifts with a particular focus on opportunities in emerging markets. George Chiou, President of Air Freight at Dimerco, delivered a keynote titled "How Global Supply Chain Restructuring Impacts Logistics Requirements," offering insights into the "China+1" strategy—a diversification approach encouraging businesses to expand manufacturing beyond China into other regions.

Addressing Challenges in the 'China+1' Era
In his presentation, Mr. Chiou delved into the challenges businesses face when adopting the "China+1" strategy, including limited freight capacity, regulatory complexities, and infrastructure gaps in emerging markets. Highlighting Dimerco’s solutions, he shared how the company has supported semiconductor manufacturers and other clients in adapting to these new realities with tailored logistics strategies.

"The DIGITIMES 2025 forum provided a valuable platform for discussing the evolving trade environment and the role of logistics in enabling businesses to adapt," said Mr. Chiou. "With generative AI and shifting geopolitical dynamics reshaping global supply chains, Dimerco is dedicated to delivering comprehensive, innovative solutions to meet these challenges."

Spotlighting Success in Emerging Markets
Mr. Chiou emphasized the growing significance of markets like Southeast Asia and Mexico in the global supply chain. He shared a case study of a Taiwanese client successfully expanding operations into India, showcasing how Dimerco’s expertise in trade compliance helped the company navigate regulatory hurdles and ensure smooth operations.

"The 'China+1' strategy is about more than diversifying manufacturing—it’s about anticipating obstacles and leveraging opportunities in new markets," said Mr. Chiou. "Dimerco’s deep experience in high-tech supply chains positions us to help clients overcome these challenges and thrive in competitive global environments."
The forum underscored the transformative role of AI and the strategic realignment of supply chains. While China remains a central hub in the global economy, emerging markets are increasingly taking on pivotal roles in the supply chain ecosystem.
