Global supply chains have experienced tremendous disruptions over the last few years resulting in a pursuit of resilience.

The use of big data and technology initiatives is not only limited to the private sector but also in the public sector as well. The speaker will share on some of the big data initiatives being adopted in a seemingly far removed world of commercial trade and supply chains.
