Cold Chain Unbroken 2023 (CCUB 2023), a two-day industry spectacular, brought together supply chain and logistics specialists to explore cutting-edge innovations in the field. WIZ Freight organised the event, which was aimed to inspire, inform, and innovate around the underlying issue of developing a robust cold chain infrastructure.
The two-day premier event offered guests the ideal environment for collaboration and learning best practices from all stakeholders responsible for the cold supply chain’s integrity. WIZ published an industry research titled ‘Air Cargo Infrastructure at Air Cargo Hubs’ at the inaugural session of CCUB 2023, while Krishi Jagran launched the September edition of its English magazine, ‘Agriculture World,’ headlined ‘Unleashing the Potential of Cold Chain’.
The event saw many more activities planned for attendee engagement, like visits to the WFS Coolport at the Kempegowda International Airport, a Workshop on ‘Temperature Excursions’ by Skycell, a 6-km morning walk to celebrate 6 years of CCUB, and much more.
The grand opening ceremony of CCUB 2023 set the tone for a series of informative panel discussions. In today’s fast-paced global market, distinguished speakers and industry experts emphasised the critical importance of an uninterrupted supply chain.

The second session focused on the crucial infrastructure required for the cold chain industry’s proper operation, with presenters discussing topics such as storage facilities, temperature-controlled zones, and transportation infrastructure. Speakers discussed the critical role that a strong infrastructure plays in preserving the integrity of temperature-sensitive items.
With the increasing demand for the swift and reliable delivery of temperature-sensitive goods, optimizing cargo handling at airports is paramount, and innovations in cold supply chain logistics are essential in ensuring the seamless movement of perishable products via air. During this panel, the speakers deliberated on how, by embracing innovations and streamlining cargo processing in the skies, the industry can unlock new levels of efficiency and reliability, ultimately enhancing the accessibility and reach of vital cold chain services.
CCUB 2023 ended with heartfelt gratitude to everyone who contributed to its resounding success, considering that organizing such a monumental event required meticulous planning, tireless coordination, and the dedication of numerous individuals and teams.
