The 2026 APAC Supply Chain Playbook: AI, Resilience, and Smart Trade-Offs

May 26, 2026 | Tuesday | 11:00AM - 12:00PM SGT | 10:00AM - 11:00AM ICT | 1:00PM - 2:00PM AEST

Overview The 2026 APAC Supply Chain Playbook: AI, Resilience, and Smart Trade-Offs

Supply chain leaders in retail and manufacturing are facing unprecedented volatility. Inflation, tariffs, and geopolitical disruptions are shaping long-term strategy.

In this session, RELEX explores how APAC organisations are responding to these challenges with resilience-focused strategies and AI-driven decision-making. The discussion draws on insights from the State of Supply Chain 2026: Volatility, Trade-Offs & the Rise of AI report, based on a survey of over 500 supply chain leaders globally, including APAC. 

The research highlights how companies are navigating trade-offs—raising prices and building inventory or streamlining operations to control costs. Retailers leverage promotions to engage price-sensitive consumers, whilst manufacturers diversify suppliers and adjust pack sizes. Across sectors, AI adoption is accelerating to enable faster, data-driven decisions.

Participants will gain a practical playbook for navigating uncertainty, showing where to invest, what to simplify, and how to prioritise initiatives to build flexible, resilient, and adaptable supply chains.
