Topics for panel discussion

1. What barriers to international trade — customs procedures, quotas/licenses, infrastructure, payments, etc. — do you consider the most critical for your business, and how do you address them?


2. What logistics or service solutions are you currently lacking?


3. Are you seeing any benefits from consolidating services with a single partner? What are the pros and cons of this?


4. How is digitalization (electronic documents, TMS/WMS, tracking, etc.) impacting your logistics? Which technologies have been the most beneficial, and what is hindering implementation?


5. How do you manage supply chain risks — force majeure, logistics delays, currency fluctuations, disruptions at key suppliers?


6. What supply chain financing tools (factoring, supply chain financing, cargo insurance, etc.) do you use to optimize working capital and reduce risks?


7. Do sustainability/ESG requirements influence your logistics decisions (routes, packaging, transport choice)? How do you balance sustainability and cost?


8. What additional topics or questions would you like to bring to the discussion?
