Global Supply Chains Amid Regional Tensions

This session will explore how global supply chains are being reshaped by rising regional tensions and increasing geopolitical uncertainty, and how these dynamics are impacting the stability of international trade flows. It will examine the growing exposure of trade to disruption, volatility, and evolving regulatory frameworks, while considering how cargo owners and logistics operators can effectively navigate this complex and fragmented environment. Particular attention will be given to the role of digital data management, as well as the strategic importance of data ownership in enhancing visibility, control, and decision-making across supply chains. In this context, the discussion will highlight how data-driven approaches can support greater resilience and adaptability. Ultimately, the session will offer a forward-looking perspective on how trade and transport stakeholders can respond to ongoing disruptions while preserving efficiency and long-term competitiveness.

European Policies and Innovation: Key Logistics Decisions for Resilient Companies

Logistics is undergoing a radical transformation, driven simultaneously by the energy transition and decarbonization, as well as by digitalization, automation, and artificial intelligence. This session explores why riding the crest of this wave of change is no longer optional for companies that want to stay competitive, efficient, and resilient.
From a European, national, and regional perspective, we will analyze what is truly changing in logistics chains and how it impacts costs, operations, and business models.
Renowned Innovation Centers (ZLC), regional clusters (ALIA), and innovation associations in Spain (LOGISTOP) and Europe (ALICE) will share how they are concretely supporting their companies and the broader ecosystem: access to innovation, financing, pilot projects, scaling, and industrial collaboration. A practical session for companies that want to stay ahead of the curve, make informed decisions, and turn the transition into a competitive advantage.

New Opportunities Arising from Recent EU Trade Agreements with Other Geopolitical Blocs

In a global context characterized by the reconfiguration of supply chains, geopolitical competition, and technological acceleration, the European Union is signing strategic trade agreements that open up new opportunities for Spanish companies and, bilaterally, for foreign companies with which these agreements are concluded, such as those in Latin America. In this essential conference for logistics, foreign trade, and international strategy executives, Cristina Peña Andrés—with more than 20 years of global leadership, industrial engineer, economic analyst in the mainstream media, and EU Trade Champion of the European Commission—will offer a unique, real-time view of how these agreements will transform trade flows, regulatory requirements, and sectoral opportunities in the coming years.

With a practical and forward-looking approach, Cristina will analyze the most recent agreements and those currently under negotiation, explain how they will impact key sectors (industry, agri-food, technology, energy, mobility, pharmaceuticals, consumer goods), and show how companies can anticipate these changes to gain a competitive advantage. A strategic, inspiring, and action-oriented session designed for those who need to understand where international trade is headed and how to position themselves to take advantage of it.
