Collaboration for a common vision

The global trade scenario is constantly evolving. The smallest deviation from the norm can cause sudden delays, increase lead-time variability and increase cost overheads. Global demand surges can add stress to container availability and fluctuations may lead to stock-outs or overstocking.

As the UAE advances toward its Vision 2030 — a national agenda focused on economic diversification, digital innovation and sustainable development, the Maersk Business Summit with the theme “Agility in Action: Reinventing Logistics for a New Era” will bring together a powerful ecosystem.

Leaders from global and regional businesses, policymakers, academics, port authorities, digital innovators and supply chain strategists will all be present at the event to share insights, challenge assumptions, and spark solutions.

By attending the event, you can:

Connectivity
Gain clarity on navigating global trade regulations and risk with insights from policy and industry experts.
Wheel
Discover how integrated, multimodal logistics and 4PL models are reshaping connectivity and control across supply chains.
Hand plant
Explore actionable strategies to decarbonise operations in IMEA, aligning your business with the region s sustainability goals and future-ready logistics standards.
3 people
Unlock collaborative solutions for logistics challenges through shared learning and innovation - to strengthen relationships for long-term resilience and growth.
