Solar Supply Chain Challenges – Global Market & Logistics Briefing

Add to Calendar

The pandemic has led to global lockdowns severely affecting the supply chains of all international industries. Lock downs led to production and therefore supply shortfalls, delayed project completion and finally increased prices for transportation and logistics. In 2021, the top supply chain challenge will continue to be keeping operations on track.

Within that overarching challenge, there are challenges that have occupied supply chain experts for the past several years — it is just that the pandemic has shed new light on them and, in many cases, made them more acute.

In a roundtable session, decision-makers across the value chain will discuss these challenges and identify innovation and further digitalization potential.
