The Achilles Procureship Maritime Network Roundtable is coming to Glasgow bringing together senior procurement, supply chain, and sustainability leaders for an exclusive evening of collaboration. The roundtable offers a unique opportunity to deepen conversations around the future of maritime procurement in an era of rapid regulatory and sustainability transformation.
This invitation-only gathering will explore our discussion topic:
Changing Course: The Future of Maritime Procurement
From Outsourced Services to Connected Supply Chains – Is This the End of the Outsourcing Model?
As digitalisation, AI and increasing regulatory demands reshape the maritime industry, procurement is entering a period of significant transformation. Traditional outsourcing models are evolving, vessel teams are becoming more connected, and organisations are looking for smarter ways to manage supplier relationships, risk and operational efficiency.
Join fellow maritime procurement and supply chain leaders for an interactive discussion exploring how the industry is adapting to these changes. Hear perspectives from industry experts and practitioners before taking part in an open roundtable to share experiences, challenges and ideas on the future of maritime procurement.
Continue the conversation over drinks and canapés while networking with peers from across the maritime industry in an informal setting.
