Innovation and Technology in Global Supply Chains

Friday, June 21, 2019 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm
CSIS Headquarters, 2nd Floor


Please join us on June 21st for a public event on the role of innovation and new technologies in global supply chains.

Global supply chains are critical to development. Over the past few years, there have been major changes in how goods are produced and delivered, led by the growing role of technology. Digital technologies and innovations like drones as well as management information systems which incorporate blockchain and artificial intelligence offer unique opportunities to strengthen supply chains and spur economic growth. Development practitioners and the private sector are looking to use supply chain data to improve traceability, decrease waste, and make sure that goods and services are reaching their intended targets in developing countries. This event will examine the opportunities to strengthen and track global supply chains through new technologies. 

This event is made possible by generous support from Chemonics International.
