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

Trade policy has stopped being a sector-specific or region-specific challenge. It's now a universal planning constraint, and APAC supply chain leaders are feeling the pressure every day. In the “The 2026 APAC Supply Chain Playbook: AI, Resilience, and Smart Trade-Offs” webinar presented by Retail Asia in partnership with RELEX, Mike Taylor, Director of Solution Strategy at RELEX, unpacked what over 500 supply chain leaders revealed in the State of Supply Chain 2026 report, and what it means for the region.

The conversation moved beyond the headlines into how organisations are actually responding, splitting into courageous, curious, and cautious camps as they weigh up generative and agentic AI. Thomas made the case that AI is both the disruptor and the antidote, whilst grounded, consistent data is what separates experimentation from enterprise-ready value.

You'll also hear why 75% of respondents remain optimistic or cautiously optimistic about the next 12 to 18 months, and what the leaders pulling ahead are doing differently on inventory, pricing, supplier diversification, and scaled AI deployment.
