Abstract
This paper focuses on the smart development of Zhengzhou’s logistics industry in the context of the digital economy. By analyzing its current status in terms of infrastructure, scale, and employees, it identifies core issues such as imperfect regional coordination mechanisms, uneven distribution of smart infrastructure, shortage of high-level talents, backward supervision and standardization, insufficient somatization of international logistics, weak innovation motivation of enterprises, and lagging green transformation. Considering Zhengzhou’s positioning as a national central city and an international comprehensive transportation hub, targeted policy recommendations are put forward, including building a regional collaborative governance framework, strengthening infrastructure and technological empowerment, improving the talent cultivation system, promoting green and smart transformation, and deepening international logistics cooperation. These recommendations provide practical references for advancing the smart upgrading of Zhengzhou’s logistics industry and the coordinated development of logistics in the Central Plains Urban Agglomeration.
