THE SOLUTION

Building the Ecosystem for Next-Gen Supply Chain Innovation

SCL-X is designed to address the innovation gap by focusing on how supply chains can innovate faster, smarter and with less risk through composable IT architectures and greater internal digital fluency.

Composable Architectures as a Catalyst

By moving away from rigid, monolithic systems, composable architectures enable:

• Faster, lower-risk innovation cycles through iterative deployment.

• Plug-and-play integration of best-of-breed platforms rather than over-reliance on single-vendor ecosystems.

• Systemic use of AI, not just in point solutions, but across the entire value chain.

Building Digital Fluency

Innovation doesn’t just depend on technology...it depends on how organisations use it. SCL-X focuses on helping leaders to:

• Become better buyers of external solutions, knowing what to integrate and when.

• Leverage agentic AI to drive more in-house innovation without over-reliance on vendors.

• Unlock the value of internal IP and datasets, turning them into strategic assets.

Opening the Door to Collaborative Innovation

Startups and scaleups often hold the key to targeted breakthroughs - especially in AI - but struggle to gain traction. Composable architecture removes integration barriers and supports clienting, co-creation, partnering and acquisition.SCL-X connects:

• Operators with real-world challenge
• Non-traditional innovators (startups, scaleups, deep-tech teams)
• Investors and established tech leaders looking for scalable innovation pathways

A Practitioner-First Experience

Unlike traditional conferences, SCL-X is built around discussions and interactive workshops, not passive presentations. It’s a working environment for transformation leaders to think, collaborate, and act.

• Decision Labs help leaders map out real innovation paths from today’s state to tomorrow’s outcomes
• Roundtables bring operators, architects, and solution partners into candid peer exchange
• Panels and case studies distill lessons from real transformation journeys
• Startup sessions let operators give feedback, not just get pitched

Every format is designed to help participants solve problems, shape decisions and contribute to the next wave of supply chain innovation.
