*PROCUREVOLUTION 2030: A Journey to the Future of Procurement*
*"Procurement at the Heart of Strategy: Manage Complexity, Drive Value"*

​

In today's business world, procurement departments play a strategic role in maintaining companies' competitive edge. Coping with uncertainty in global supply chains, the imperative of digital transformation, and the rising expectations of internal stakeholders has ushered procurement into its most complex era in history.

​

The PROCUREVOLUTION 2030 summit offers a roadmap for managing these complex ecosystems. By embracing digital transformation as a tool and strategic collaboration as a core principle, we will discuss how to transform the procurement function into a "value creation center."

MAIN THEME: Managing Complex Ecosystems through Digital Transformation and Strategic Collaboration*
*"Orchestrating Complex Ecosystems through Digital Transformation and Strategic Collaboration"*

This theme centers on procurement's evolution from an operational function to an "orchestra conductor" that holds the entire organization together. What matters now is not just "how cheaply you bought," but "how agile, sustainable, and value-oriented you operate within this complexity."

​

*Key Questions We Will Explore at the Summit:*
*   *Digital Transformation:* How can technology make our procurement processes faster, more transparent, and smarter?
*   *Strategic Collaboration:* How will we play the same score as IT, design, quality, and finance teams? How can procurement become a bridge that brings these teams together?
*   *Managing Complexity:* How can we remain proactive and resilient in the face of supplier risks, fluctuating costs, and sustainability requirements?

​

PROCUREVOLUTION 2030 brings together the procurement leaders who are building the future on these three fundamental axes. Our summit offers a broad perspective, ranging from AI-powered risk analysis to in-depth assessment of supplier collaborations; from cost control in an environment of raw material price uncertainty to the involvement of procurement in the product design phase.

​

At this summit, we will discuss digital tools, cross-functional collaboration models, and a data-driven decision-making culture together. Pioneering leaders and innovative technology experts will share how they translated this transformation into concrete steps with live application examples.

​

Participants will gain the necessary insights, tools, and opportunity to build strategic collaborations to compete in the procurement world of 2030.
