In an ideal world, a truly global supply chain community would involve every country meeting the same set of quality standards and asking for the same legislative requirements. But will local challenges ultimately prevent this from becoming a reality?

Panel topics include:
– How can we find a balance between global and local needs?
– Can we provide a consistent service level across the globe while maintaining a local presence and expertise?
– Is it possible for all companies to meet the same guidelines in every situation?
– Is this even something we should be aiming for – what about a tailored approach?
– International partnerships strive for a collaborative approach, but how far can this reach? How can companies work with their competitors?
– Are pharma hubs the answer or do they not support smaller businesses?
