Third annual Global Trade and Supply Chain Summit will discuss how trade transformation can fuel growth and new globalisation

The third annual Global Trade and Supply Chain Summit aims to shake up the status quo of global trade by bringing policymakers and businesses to the same table. Attendees will benefit from a discussion on how to improve supply chain openness, unleash trade in emerging countries and take action to make trade sustainable. This event will run in-person on Monday September 19th to Tuesday September 20th 2023, at The Address Dubai Marina.

Topics to be covered during the Summit include supply chain diversification from China, handling sustainability, product traceability, managing data in digital trade, supply chain resilience and trade in emerging regions, among others.

More than 100 speakers are confirmed including governmental and UN representatives and regulators, along with senior executives from key sectors such as retail, transportation, logistics, manufacturing, technology, finance and trade.
