An Even More Dynamic Edition, in Step with a Rapidly Changing Industry Supply Chain Event, organized by RX France in partnership with Supply Chain Magazine, closed its doors on Wednesday, October 15, on a very positive note. With 3,750 
participants, a 4% increase compared to 2024, the event confirmed its status as a must-attend gathering for stakeholders involved in the digitalization and performance of supply chains. This edition was marked by the quality of exchanges, the holding of 40  conferences and workshops focused on concrete feedback, and strong enthusiasm around forecasting, planning, and artificial intelligence topics. 

Over two days, the event generated a steady flow of qualified meetings and business opportunities, reinforcing 
its role as a catalyst for growth and innovation within the sector. A Meeting Point Linking Strategy, Operations, and Business
Business was at the heart of this edition: nearly one hundred exhibitors engaged with thousands of professionals who came to discover the latest innovations, solutions, and market technologies.

1,200 business meetings were organized over the two days (+7% vs. 2024), confirming the event’s role as a privileged space for connections, partnerships, and concrete opportunities for the entire supply chain ecosystem. Supply Chain Event is now established as a true marketplace where concrete partnerships are formed, new growth opportunities emerge, and best digitalization practices are shared. 

Driven by the quality of exchanges on the stands and the richness of the conferences, the event acts more than ever as a catalyst for business, projects, and innovations within the sector.

A Supply Chain “Prepared for All Scenarios”

Under the theme “Supply Chain Prepared for All Scenarios” this 2025 edition placed planning and forecasting at the core of discussions. Facing the growing complexity of supply chains — persistent inflation, regulatory pressures, geopolitical tensions, and energy transitions — companies must adapt to the need to reconcile performance, sustainability, and sovereignty through more agile and predictive models. Various interventions and presentations demonstrated how data, artificial intelligence, and 
simulation have become strategic levers to anticipate risks, secure decisions, and strengthen competitiveness. Supply Chain Event 2025 positioned itself as a true laboratory of ideas, where industry professionals, operational and strategic decision-makers, solution providers, and institutional actors shared their concrete feedback and perspectives on the 
transformation of the supply chain function.

An Enriched Program Focused on Action and Feedback

The 2025 program, developed and hosted by Supply Chain Magazine, featuring 23 conferences and 17 practical workshops, illustrated the richness and diversity of sector challenges. From inspiring keynotes to collaborative formats, all sessions confirmed the event’s commitment to offering a clear pathway where strategic vision and feedback intersect.

Highlights:
The opening conference, “Towards a Supply Chain Prepared for All Scenarios,” brought together Jean-Pascal Chichmanian (Partner at Citwell), Marie-Laure Furgala (Director of MS and MSc Global Supply Chain Program at ISLI-Kedge), Sébastien Laurencin (Senior Delmia Supply Chain Industry Process Consultant at Dassault Systèmes), and Océane Mignot (Specialist in strategic organizational transformation), laying the groundwork for reflecting on models capable of withstanding the unpredictable.

The BIC keynote by Vincent Espie, VP Supply Chain Europe at BIC, illustrated the transformation of a global player toward an “antifragile” supply chain capable of strengthening itself through disruptions.

The KNDS keynote by Olivier Himpe, Supply Chain Director at KNDS, delved into sovereignty and industrial control challenges specific to the defense sector.

Finally, the international roundtable opened the debate on the most advanced foreign models in sustainable and agile supply chains, with participation from Yann de Feraudy (President of France Supply Chain), Caroline Mondon (Development 
Director at AfrSCM), and Christoph Lenhartz (President of TOCICO).

Numerous use cases presented by large French and European groups such as Renault, Hutchinson, Intermarché, Carrefour, L’Oréal, Biospringer, Cooperl, Tipiak, Sodiaal CBM Company, Pochet, SMCP, Seb, Courir, Saint-Gobain, and Gedimat illustrated, sector by sector, how digital transformation is concretely implemented within organizations.

Innovation in the Spotlight with the Digital Supply Chain Awards

The event also featured the Digital Supply Chain Awards and the Start-up Digital Supply Chain Awards, which honored three emblematic innovations this year:

 URBANTZ, winner of the Digital Supply Chain Award, for its SaaS platform optimizing last-mile delivery by integrating artificial intelligence to reduce emissions and improve delivery accuracy.

 Oplit, winner of the Start-up Digital Supply Chain Award, for its intelligent scheduling solution connecting ERP and field data to align operational and financial objectives.

 Zensimu, Jury’s Favorite, for its pedagogical supply chain simulation platform, used by professionals to foster operational adoption and accelerate digital transformation projects.

These awards reflect the spirit of the event: an ecosystem where technology, performance, and training combine to make the supply chain a lever of competitiveness and responsible innovation.

See You in 2026!

The next edition of Supply Chain Event will take place on Tuesday, December 1, and Wednesday, December 2, 2026, at Paris Porte de Versailles – Pavilion 1. It will continue its mission: supporting manufacturers, distributors, and retailers in the digital 
transformation of their supply chains by helping them strengthen resilience, gain agility, and accelerate sustainable performance through high-level business meetings, concrete solutions, and inspiring feedback.
