The Global Supply Chain Forum
A natural outgrowth of UT's highly successful Supply Chain Forum is the new Global Supply Chain Forum, launched June 2011 in Paris, France, in partnership with ESSEC Business School. Similar in structure to the US-based forum, the global forum enables international industry executives and a global faculty to focus on worldwide and region-specific supply chain issues.
Companies that have joined as founding members include BearingPoint, Caterpillar, Honeywell, Johnson & Johnson, Procter & Gamble, and Geodis. This is the only supply chain forum that will meet in five locations throughout the world—North America, Asia, Western Europe, Central/Eastern Europe, and Latin America—selected for their strategic importance for business and supply chain management.
Each partner institution—ESSEC in France and Singapore, Central European University in Hungary, and Instituto de Logistica e Supply Chain in Brazil—was chosen for its unique strengths. The Global Supply Chain Forum's speakers are innovative supply chain strategists from global companies.
