Procurement and Supply Management Summit 2026

The event provides an in-depth analysis of the dynamics that are reshaping the global procurement landscape, while offering the community of procurement professionals an opportunity for reflection and exchange.
 

The Summit brings together and builds on the findings of SDA Bocconi Procurement Lab’s research projects and the experience of practitioners and stakeholders from leading Italian and international companies, offering valuable insights for entrepreneurs, CEOs and procurement managers.
 

Key topics on the agenda include the energy market and the delicate balance between geopolitics, sovereignty, sustainability and price dynamics, with particular attention to their impact on business competitiveness. The discussion will then focus on procurement resilience and the ability to design and manage robust, flexible supply chains in increasingly turbulent environments.
 

Considerable attention will be devoted to moving beyond the traditional focus on savings, with the aim of aligning the objectives, performance and incentives of the Procurement function with a broader approach to value creation. Finally, the Summit will explore the opportunities offered by Agentic AI, a new frontier in process automation, decision support and the evolution of procurement skills.
 

The Summit thus provides an authoritative platform for interpreting ongoing change, developing new perspectives and strengthening dialogue among academia, businesses and institutions.
