They are lowering physical barriers, making it possible for individuals and businesses to move goods more cheaply and efficiently than ever before. In this session participants learn about the innovations taking place in shipping as they meet a company leading the disruption of the industry.

Session 3: The Fresh Food Supply Chain

The growing demand for fresh produce, regardless of the season, has pushed entrepreneurs to come up with novel solutions to the problem of transporting perishable food without waste. Many have risen to the challenge, with businesses using new approaches to both hardware and software to ensure produce reaches its destination in optimal condition. How will this impact the transportation sector? This session will answer that question as participants learn about the disruptive aspirations of the companies working to change the fresh food supply chain through meeting one of the sector’s leading innovators.

Session 4: Reinventing Last-Mile Delivery

Today, waiting times for goods ordered online are often down to a day or, in many cases, a matter of hours. Yet in Silicon Valley disruptive startups continue to work to perfect retail logistics. Using autonomous vehicles and much more, they are defining the future of last-mile delivery. How will those efforts manifest themselves on the streets of smart cities? How soon will unmanned vehicles communicate with AI-powered security systems to facilitate package deliveries in an entirely autonomous way?
