Next Generation Supply Chains

Turmoil is engulfing global supply chains. The pandemic created supply and demand shocks, highlighting the critical importance of resilience across a company’s supply chain. But it is also accelerating deeper trends which will challenge business models, forcing every company to respond. The Financial Times, in association with HSBC, are delighted to host this virtual discussion featuring senior executives from DHL Express and Li & Fung. It will explore the urgent decisions facing business leaders as they navigate geopolitical tensions, new patterns in global trade, and increased complexity of risk. The role of technology and digitisation will be considered in the context of enabling greater transparency, efficiency and control across supply chains. All of this is central to the role of trade in building back better after the pandemic.
