Building resilience – Localising your supply chain and engaging SMEs

25 Jun 2024
The Strategies for Success room

Localising your supply chain and engaging SMEs has emerged as a key strategic approach to building resilience. Strengthening local supplier networks not only enhances supply chain stability, but also supports local economies and fosters innovation. How easy is this to do though? What are the specific benefits of engaging with local suppliers and what challenges might you face? How can you ensure that localisation and using SMEs doesn’t open up new risks in your supply chain? Hear from an inspiring project where local suppliers were a prerequisite from the start and have been fundamental to success, and learn the critical considerations when building a resilient supply chain through local partnerships from an expert tech provider.
