Manufacturing 2026: Data, Risk & Resilience

Webinar Description

Manufacturing and supply chain leaders face a pivotal year in 2026 as regulatory change, AI adoption, and rising customer expectations reshape how organisations operate. Regulatory changes such as tariffs and sanctions were manufacturers’ biggest supply chain challenge last year.

In this webinar with Bjorn Gerster from leading data and analytics provider Dun & Bradstreet, we explore the essential role of high quality, harmonised data in enabling smarter decision-making, stronger compliance, and successful AI deployment. With many manufacturers still held back by data siloes, duplication, and low confidence in their analytics, we’ll highlight how trusted data and new technologies can support faster AI adoption and workflows such as risk monitoring, while still relying on human expertise for final judgement.

This is particularly critical given that 44% of manufacturers have already seen AI projects fail due to poor data quality.

During the session, Bjorn also highlights the regulatory shifts redefining production and procurement, from sustainability reporting to evolving trade and cybersecurity requirements. Finally, we look at changing customer expectations around transparency, speed, and real time visibility, and how businesses can adapt through more agile, localised supply chain models.

Join us to learn the data foundations and strategic actions needed to thrive in 2026.
