🎙️ Key Insights on Supply Chain Leadership Across Africa

In a recent episode of Supply Chain Now, Toby Maier shares powerful insights on the evolving supply chain landscape across Africa and the Middle East.

Here are the major takeaways:

🌍 Shifting Global Trade Routes
Geopolitical changes and trade realignments are positioning Africa and the Middle East as increasingly strategic logistics hubs.

🚛 Infrastructure & Connectivity Matter
Resilient supply chains require investment in transport networks, customs modernization, digital systems, and reliable last-mile delivery — especially in diverse African markets.

💊 Healthcare & Life Sciences Focus
Ensuring medicines and vaccines reach underserved communities is a critical priority, requiring temperature-controlled logistics and specialized distribution networks.

💰 Long-Term Investment Commitment
Through DHL, significant investment is being directed toward strengthening end-to-end supply chain capabilities in the region.

🌱 Sustainability as Strategy
Electrification, sustainable aviation fuel, and greener logistics models are no longer optional — they are central to future-ready supply chains.

👥 Local Talent & Leadership Development
Building resilient supply chains in Africa depends on developing local expertise, empowering leaders, and creating long-term career pathways.

🔎 Bottom Line:
Africa is not just a growth market — it is becoming a strategic pillar in global supply chains. Leadership, innovation, and sustainable investment will define the next decade.
