Join our sixth annual Supply Chain Summit which brings together leading experts from business, industry, policy and academia to explore topics at the cutting edge of supply chain management.
World events in recent times have led us all to experience difficulties sourcing products that we routinely took for granted. Global supply chains are disrupted by significant labour shortage, parts shortage, inflation and new technologies. What can be done about this? To be resilient, managers from all sorts of companies now realise that they need real-time, accurate information about their supply chain through digitalisation.
This summit invites experts from large and small enterprises to push forward the agenda on how digitalisation can help organisations to respond to such challenges.
The programme includes keynote and guest speakers, a panel and Q&A session, followed by a networking lunch.
