The AI Advantage: Solving Supply Chain Challenges with AI Agents
We are Open Future Forum. We are leaders, investors, founders and engineers based in the Bay Area CA.
Conversation Background & Focus:
Despite advancements in technology, supply chains continue to grapple with inefficiencies caused by disconnected systems, fragmented data, and manual processes. These challenges slow operations, increase risks and limit the ability to fully capitalize on technological advancements.
AI-powered automation, i.e. AI Agents, offers a way forward, but its deployment raises critical questions: Should organizations build solutions in-house or adopt off-the-shelf platforms? How can vertical and horizontal AI approaches complement each other to tackle the complexities of supply chain operations and turn data into a valuable asset?
This exclusive event brings together thought leaders from VCs, AI startups, enterprise customers, and tech giants to explore these challenges, share insights, and discuss available solutions.
