The profound changes sweeping the European automotive industry have made supply chain and logistics a top priority for senior management and the board. While the C-Suite focuses on the supply chain, it needs help to guide operations and make long-term investments in technologies and services that are in the best interest of customers and the business. European OEMs face stiffer competition from new entrants, uneven logistics capabilities, higher costs, and market and geopolitical disruption. As manufacturers form new divisions and partnerships to develop and scale electric vehicles, European supply chains are likely to become more fragmented, siloed, and complex.

  But supply chain leaders can bring decisive advantages to automotive companies and turn these challenges into competitive advantages. Logistic Europe is the event where this strategic supply chain voice is heard loud and clear, with the most senior logistics leaders and chief supply chain officers representing every aspect of logistics and IT, product planning, procurement, manufacturing and operations.

  This year's event offers opportunities to engage in conversations, connect, share insights, and explore how collaboration, innovation, and technology can reduce complexity and increase agility in an ever-changing and increasingly uncertain environment.
