In a world where unpredictability has become the norm, the ability to adapt is no longer optional—it’s essential. From global disruptions like pandemics and geopolitical crises to rapid technological advancements, the pace of change is accelerating, challenging businesses to rethink how they operate.
The supply chain is at the heart of this transformation. Success lies in building supply chains that are not only resilient and agile but also capable of turning challenges into opportunities. It’s about being proactive in preparation, reactive in response, and strategic in decision-making to maintain a competitive edge.

Artificial intelligence
and energy
Will the AI expansion consume more electricity than it saves? Can we reduce our dependence of fossil fuels using AI, or will the consumption increase? Is it possible to excel in the AI revolution if solar and wind power provide the needed electricity? Are politicians aware of the disruptive potential of AI in the energy sector?
In this keynote, Jan will talk about these critical questions and explore what they mean for the future of energy and technology.

Pioneering Positive Impact
In a business environment of macroeconomic uncertainty, supply chain complexity and growth in new technologies, it can be challenging for any organization to strike the right balance between service offerings, operating costs, and capital employed. Uncertainty in the market and risk of disruptions require companies to prepare for several what-if scenarios to support decision making and increase supply chain resilience.
