Sharing his insights at the International Procurement and Supply Chain Conference (IPSC 2025) in Dubai organised by the global leader in supply chain training and consulting, Blue Ocean Corporation, Sheikh Nahyan said that supply chains must be effective and responsive to rapid change, and should continue to improve.

"We have come to realise the fragile nature of supply chains, and to appreciate that, in this globalised world, we must have supply chains that can respond to freer trade, to technological advancements, to increased automation and use of robotics, and to the forces of market economies. We fully understand that supply chains must be sustainable, resilient, secure, innovative, data and evidence-driven, and cost efficient," he said in his key note address.

Paying tribute to the nation's leadership, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed AI Nahyan, President of the UAE, and His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid AI Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister, and Ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Nahyan acknowledged their visionary contributions to infrastructure development, economic resilience, and sustainable growth.
