The application of Artificial Intelligence and Big Data Analytics in Logistics and Supply Chain Management is an exciting and growing area.

The potential of big data analytics in defence operations is perhaps less visible. In this webinar we bring together academic and industry perspectives to gain a better understanding of the role of Artificial Intelligence and Big Data in boosting logistics capability to meet current and future defence challenges.

This webinar is co-sponsored by the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport Defence Forum, whose aims include engaging with leading logisticians from commerce and academia, promoting collaboration and professional development, and facilitating the transfer of knowledge through debates and conferences.

This webinar will:

  • Discuss the evolution and digital transformation of defence operations and supply chains.
  • Provide an overview of big data analytics applications in the defence sector.
  • Showcase the potential of artificial intelligence for companies in the defence sector.
