In an increasingly unstable geopolitical context, marked by international tensions and growing market volatility, global supply chains are operating under conditions of significant uncertainty. At the same time, the supply chain function has become increasingly central and strategic for companies, emerging as a key lever to ensure operational continuity, resilience, and competitiveness. This environment has made a reassessment of strategies and priorities essential, with a stronger focus on risk management, diversification of sourcing, and deeper integration between planning, operations, and strategic decision-making.

The Supply Chain Global Summit 2026 – The new Supply Chain agenda for 2026 (and beyond) aims to offer participants a valuable opportunity to engage with executives and international experts on supply chain management priorities and best practices, the strategies delivering the greatest impact, and the key pillars of the new supply chain agenda, in light of a complex and continuously evolving global landscape.
