Supply Chain Asia Innovation Forum: A Platform for Discussing the Future of Supply Chain and Logistics

The Supply Chain Asia Innovation Forum, taking place on 1st September 2023 at the ParkRoyal Collections at Marina Bay, is an event dedicated to exploring the impact of innovation on the supply chain and logistics industry. This one-day conference brings together experts, thought leaders, and industry professionals to engage in thought-provoking discussions and share insights on the latest trends, challenges, and opportunities in the field.

The forum is designed to promote discussions on how traditional, emerging, and new technologies are changing the supply chain landscape. With a focus on innovation, attendees will have the chance to learn about cutting-edge advancements and their potential to revolutionise the way supply chain and logistics are managed.

From procurement and freight management to transportation and warehouse management, the forum will explore the many different aspects of supply chain management and the impact of innovation on each. For example, attendees will learn about the benefits of applying artificial intelligence in procurement, how smart technologies and the Internet of Things are changing the face of freight management, and the impact of robotics on transportation management and warehouse operations.

At the Supply Chain Asia Innovation Forum, attendees will gain a better understanding of the role of innovation in supply chain and logistics, and how it can be leveraged to drive efficiency, reduce costs, and improve overall performance. With a dynamic lineup of keynote speakers, interactive panel discussions, and ample networking opportunities, the forum is the ideal platform for attendees to connect with industry leaders and peers, learn about the latest advancements, and gain valuable insights into the future of the field.

Join us at the Supply Chain Asia Innovation Forum on 1st September 2023 at the ParkRoyal Collections at Marina Bay to gain a deeper understanding of the impact of innovation on supply chain and logistics and be at the forefront of shaping the future of the industry.
