内容简介：

This lecture explores how AI and inclusive strategies can transform supply chains, shifting the focus beyond efficiency toward fairness, transparency, and equity. It examines the hidden cost pressures, ethical challenges, and systemic imbalances that often disadvantage SMEs and local producers—particularly in resource-rich yet economically vulnerable regions such as Africa.

The discussion will cover the role of inclusive policies, local value addition, and initiatives like the UK’s Levelling Up agenda in promoting sustainable and equitable growth. Participants will gain actionable insights and global best practices for building resilient, ethical, and inclusive supply chains.
