5G for logistics: what & why?

Commercial business models and stakeholder expectations are changing to reflect an increasingly complex global trade environment.  This session took place in a brand new technology hub not open to the public, to see new tools already in use by logistics & supply chain leaders and to discuss impact and how-to with peers.  

Agenda 22 March, 2023

• 13:00 – lunch

• Interactive B2B demos: powerful tools help you understand how leading industries and brands are currently improving their business performance as well as environmental impact.   “Innovation” & “technology” are re-modelling value chains but what concrete changes are leaders actually making?  How are they justifying ROI, especially in this climate?  What’s coming?  A focus on how others are unlocking value, improving efficiency and scaling ‘better’ performance.  

• Workshops: making your company more successful
  • How will ecosystems around “sustainable logistics hubs” operate in 2025, which business models will serve them and how does my business achieve “sustainable success” (growth within the new logistics ecosystems)?  Multimodal interaction between stakeholders, energy infrastructure and new channels – what should we be planning for & what’s the pathway? 
  • Training, re-skilling and the workforce of our near future.  What do young people want?  How can my business be best in class?  
     
• Moderated discussion: How (on earth) can we prepare for the sea of change coming, including when all of our assets are talking to each other?   Will our customers play their part?  Enablers.  Collaborating with partners for mutual value creation.  Help & advice for today and tomorrow.  

• 16:30 – close (& pub)
