Lars Jensen Sets the Stage for TLME's Future-Proof Technologies Conference

In his opening comments TLME Future-Proof Technologies Conference Moderator and industry thought-leader Lars Jensen, set the stage for the day's discussions by highlighting the conference's tagline: "Be Resilient. Be Smart. Be Ready."

Referring to ongoing Red Sea shipping disruptions Mr Jensen said that the industry "has indeed demonstrated resilience" and cargo has continued to move via alternate routes and world trade has largely not been affected.

Being "smart", Mr Jensen added, did not just mean using technology but also how technologies are implemented to realise gains in efficiency, safety and lowered costs.

The other topic of the day's discussion Mr Jensen said was "being ready". It was not any more about the promise of new technologies but how ready are they to be gainfully adopted and used effectively well into the future. That is what is critical today.

Mr Jensen said the Middle East is playing key role in testing and implementing cutting-edge technologies in transport and logistics operations.

As with the prior TLME conferences, insights gained and recorded from the discussions at the Future-Proof Technologies Conference, can be used to spread greater awareness and smart deployment of future-proof technologies across the supply chain.
