Nearshoring Supply Chain: disruptions and the role of AI

In an era where companies navigate through the maze of geopolitical uncertainties, ambitious sustainability targets like Net Zero 2030, economic downturns, ever-evolving customer preferences, exploding data volumes, and rapid technological leaps — with each challenge seemingly existing in its own silo — executives are in a relentless pursuit of the holy grail: Efficiency, Agility, Resilience, and Sustainability. This quest demands not just strategies of near/re-shoring to emerge as pivotal to building more sustainable supply chains but integrated, scalable, and user-friendly solutions. Artificial Intelligence (AI) stands out as a transformative force in redefining these strategies, addressing supply chain disruptions, and supporting the supply network re-design and optimization, but how? That’s what we will be exploring in this talk.
