Charting New Waters: Ports as Value-Creators in Global Supply Chains

This engaging seminar will challenge the traditional view of ports as mere infrastructure providers and introduce a dynamic perspective where they are instead seen as active participants in value-creation processes.

Wednesday, November 13, 2024 - 16:30 to 18:30

Traditionally, ports are perceived primarily as infrastructure providers, serving as essential but passive points of entry and exit for goods in the global trade network. This view positions ports as basic facilities with their primary functions centered around providing the necessary physical space and basic logistical support.

In today’s global trade environment, this limited view of ports is no longer sufficient. Globalisation, technological advancements, sustainability concerns, supply chain disruptions, international regulations and consumer demand present more challenges – but also opportunities.

Shifting to a value-based perspective on ports helps address the complexity and interconnectivity of global supply chains by enhancing efficiency, fostering innovation, improving stakeholder collaboration, supporting sustainability, building economic resilience, and enhancing security and risk management.

At this CBS Executive Education event, you will be introduced to a value-based perspective on ports and discuss the implications of such a perspective on international shipping and trade. Learn how ports can transform into dynamic hubs that drive efficiency, sustainability, and competitiveness in the global supply chain. Don't miss this opportunity to be at the forefront of innovation in port operations and global trade.

If you're a a professional in ocean shipping, logistics, or port management or simply interested in the future of global trade, this event is for you.
