Is this mission right for your company?

The WCA Regional is a logistics networking conference: its value is in the one-to-one meetings, not in attending. The mission works when each company arrives with a concrete need on the India–Chile corridor.

A good fit for companies that

  • Are Chilean freight forwarders, customs agents or logistics operators looking for reliable correspondents in India
  • Import or export with India, control their own freight account and want an operator with a local counterparty
  • Can share services, lanes, volumes and the ports and airports they prioritise
  • Can respond to quotations and coordinate a first shipment after the trip

How the agenda is adapted

  • The conference schedules the one-to-one meetings; the delegation prepares them before the trip from the delegate directory
  • Each company also receives blocks based on the counterparties it prioritises
  • The 17 November institutional block is shared with the IndiAndes delegation to the IITF fair
  • The final agenda is adjusted to each counterparty’s confirmation

Why the WCA Regional works as an entry point

The WCAworld Regional Conference brings independent freight forwarders from around the world together for pre-scheduled meetings. India is one of the fastest-growing logistics markets and few Chilean companies are in the network. The final format of the edition is set by WCAworld.

Consult official WCA Regional information
  1. A network, not a fair

    Delegates are independent forwarders who work on reciprocity. A meeting can turn into an agency agreement for both directions of the corridor.

  2. The India–Chile corridor, in person

    Copper, lithium, fruit, wine and salmon one way; textiles, chemicals, auto parts, pharmaceuticals and manufacturing the other. Each flow needs an operator that answers in both countries.

  3. Local context beyond the conference

    Meetings are complemented by an institutional block at the Confederation of Indian Industry and the Embassy of Chile, shared with the IndiAndes delegation to the IITF fair, and by terminal or depot visits where the objective requires them.

A mission designed to return with partners, not only contacts.

Signed agreements are not guaranteed. Preparation is directed towards producing evaluated counterparties and a first flow ready to test.

Prioritised correspondents

Agents and operators with recorded coverage, services, references and conditions, and a clear level of interest for each.

Compared capabilities

A table of lanes, transit times, reference rates, requirements and experience with each company’s cargo type.

Defined next steps

A draft agency agreement, a trial quotation or a first shipment agreed with a date.

Public mission programme

A high-level seven-day route built around the three days of one-to-one meetings at the WCA Regional, an institutional block shared with the IndiAndes delegation to the IITF fair, and a day in Agra. The delegation is organised together with CAMINDIA, the Chile–India Chamber of Commerce, and operational details are provided privately to confirmed delegates. The final conference format is set by WCAworld.
