The issues facing the supply chain in the UK are vast and complex, but there is no doubting that the country has faced major disruptions to its supply chain. Whether you look back to petrol shortages during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, or current issues surrounding fresh produce, all aspects of life have been impacted in one way or another over the past few years.

Compounding these issues in 2023, the supply chain faces even greater regulatory and economic pressures as a result of a multitude of factors ranging from the government management of Brexit and stagnant wages to Russia’s ongoing illegal invasion of Ukraine which has just entered its second year.

As a result, technological innovations are more vital than ever for keeping the supply chain running. Organisations are increasingly seeking a unified view of their data and processes, but many are lacking the expertise to know where to start.

The roundtable will see attendees discuss these topics, along with the findings of a recent study from National Technology News in association with OpenText which presents a snapshot of industry trends and key barriers and opportunities for organisations.

Topics for discussion:

•What are the biggest challenges facing supply chains in 2023?
•How is the general trend towards deeper ecosystem collaboration in supply chains impacting businesses?
•What is the current state of supply chain visibility in organisations and how can it be improved?
•How significantly are Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) topics or related regulations impacting supply chains?
• What technologies are being deployed to improve supply chain performance?
