Creating a More Innovative, Resilient and Greener Supply Chain in an Era of Freight Transportation Challenges

This panel will feature 4 key sectors of the supply chain: maritime, rail, road and users, i.e. clients. 
Our panel members will discuss various supply chain-related issues, including those that are specific to their industries. Further topics of discussion will include innovative and other ways of transporting goods more ecologically, sustainably and efficiently. 
In addition, panel members will broach hot topics like lowering GHGs and the labour shortage that has been wreaking havoc on supply chain actors, and suggest innovative solutions to overcome these challenges. Last but not least, they will share their opinions on how innovation and especially artificial intelligence can be put to good use, and conclude by explaining their visions of the role that our supply chain in Quebec can play internationally.
