2 inspiring days
The healthcare supply chain is under pressure like never before. Geopolitical instability, rising costs, regulatory complexity, and the accelerating pace of medical innovation are pushing Pharma and MedTech leaders to rethink how they build resilience—and how they leverage technology to stay ahead.
The event features interactive roundtable discussions and panel sessions with industry peers, providing a unique opportunity to exchange experiences, explore emerging trends, and identify new approaches to building smarter and more sustainable supply chains. The first day includes an exclusive tour of Kuehne+Nagel’s GxP-certified warehouse in Geel and concludes with a networking dinner in Brussels. On the second day, participants will experience a live Cool Corridor demonstration at Kuehne+Nagel Brussels, showcasing innovative solutions for temperature-controlled and sustainable healthcare logistics.
