Agenda 2025

In an increasingly complex and at the same time very dynamic business world, we in procurement are faced with the even greater challenge of not only delivering sustainable results, but also keeping up with technology at all times and not missing out on any relevant developments. This can be achieved with the right specialists who are responsible for more than just procurement and negotiation - they are key players in the strategic direction of the company and are themselves driving changes such as digitalization, sustainability and agility.

Moderated discussion rounds will provide an opportunity to talk about the previous panel: "Purchasing of the future: How we people in purchasing can ensure success in the digital age".

How can companies successfully integrate sustainability and ethical principles into their purchasing strategies? We shed light on the challenges and opportunities arising from the responsible procurement of products and services and show how procurement can act as a driver for a sustainable and fair value chain. We will also present specific measures for evaluating suppliers and promoting transparency in the supply chain.

To round off an inspiring day, we cordially invite you to our exclusive dinner. Enjoy an exquisite culinary experience in an exclusive atmosphere, surrounded by like-minded people and experts. This intimate dinner offers you the opportunity to deepen the day's conversations, socialise and spend an unforgettable evening together with industry leaders.

In the digital era, procurement has increasingly taken on the role of a strategic partner - supported by innovative technologies. But which digital tools are really effective and which are just ‘hype’? In this panel, experts will discuss which technologies and solutions in procurement are successful in the long term and bring real added value. From e-procurement systems and AI-based solutions to digital marketplaces - which tools help to optimise processes and increase efficiency? Participants will gain practical insights into which technologies are revolutionising procurement and how to implement digital transformation sustainably.
