Speaking at the 5th WCO Global AEO Conference

Yesterday I participated as speaker/moderator at the the 5th WCO Global AEO Conference in Dubai.

The WCO conference, organized by UAE FCA and Dubai Customs, is a great success with more than 3800 participants.

It is truly amazing that something I and a dmall team of colleagues invented in a conference room at Malmö Airport 1998, now is spread to more than 150 countries and almost 100.000 companies.

Three years ago at the 4th WCO Global AEO Conference in Kampala, I participated in the final closing session of the conference and I asked the qestion, ”is it not time for AEO 2.0”? Now AEO 2.0 is here.

At the 2021 conference yesterday I moderated a panel on ”Levering emerging technologies for AEO programmes in order to promote supply chain renewal”. We had a great panel discussion with panelists Norbert Kouwenhoven (IBM), Sandra Corcuera (IADB) & Suoud AlAgroobi (UAE FCA).

Digital AEO 2.0 is here, the neXt generation – AEO X is here! The future is to be created.
