Technology is not just transforming the supply chain, it’s revolutionising it. From robotics to AI, the power of these technologies to streamline operations, reduce costs and increase transparency cannot be overstated. And with the rapid rise of investments in the space, we are at the cusp of a supply chain transformation that will redefine how goods are transported, stored, and delivered. During the Summit, we look forward to examining the strategies and best practices used by startups and established companies to lead to transformative change industry-wide.
Supply chains are rapidly evolving, with research showing that the expected global market size of AI in supply chain will be worth USD 14.3 billion, by 2028 at 20.17% CAGR, and the fact that 75% of large organisations will have implemented some form of intralogistics smart robots in their warehouse operations by 2026. The growth is primarily driven by pandemic-related shifts and propelled further by the ongoing advancement of technology, such as robotics and automation, AI and machine learning, which are helping to revolutionise how goods are transported, stored, and delivered.
