Leading manufacturing and service companies discuss how to boost European competitiveness

How do the best manufacturing and service companies drive European competitiveness? Learn from Adel Kalemcilik, BMedicalSystems TCO, BMW Group's TEK, C2FO, Infineon Technologies, Santander/Pemberton Asset Management/invensa trade, and Schneider Electric

At the conference, executives from our lighthouse sites will share their strategies for reconfiguring supply chains during times of heightened geopolitical risk, forming and deploying top-down and bottom-up operational strategies, using innovation and continuous improvement for accelerated growth, enabling circularity to combat scarcity of critical resources, and considering sustainability in products/services and processes. Two supply chain financing companies will demonstrate how inventory risk can be mitigated and how procurement contracts can drive financial returns and promote the adoption of green investments along firms’ supply chains.

Don't miss this unique and insightful learning opportunity to understand how industry-leading companies advance in operational excellence, financial strength, risk mitigation, supply chain resilience, sustainability/circularity, and business analytics.
