Global trade is under real pressure right now. Tariffs are moving fast, freight rates are unsettled, and AI has gone from a talking point to something companies are putting into daily use. EuroCham Vietnam and Flexport co-organise this business luncheon titled “AI in Supply Chains: From Hype to Real World Impact” to bring together experts in the field to share about what AI in Supply Chains actually looks like in practice, not in theory.
Discussion points:
• Navigating tariff and trade volatility with AI: how is AI being used to reprice, reroute or re-plan when tariffs or trade rules shift?
• From pilot to production: where has AI actually gone live in operation?
• The workforce question: what does AI change for people, and where do we still need humans?
• Do’s and don’ts: what to get right and avoid as well as when to start implementing AI?

Nathan PhillipsGeneral Manager of Flexport Vietnam & CambodiaNathan has spent 15 years in global trade, moving from ocean carrier trade management roles at CMA and Hapag Lloyd into country leadership at Flexport. As Flexport’s General Manager for Vietnam and Cambodia, he’s grown the Vietnam team from one person to over 100 in three years, one of the fastest build-outs in the region. He’s helped supply chains from both the carrier and the forwarder’s side, and leveraged innovation, not just headcount, to enable hyper scale in the region.

Jake TurnerHead of Business Development, South East Asia at FlexportJake has spent eight years at Flexport, most of them growing the Enterprise segment in Europe, where he helped build and implement complex supply chain solutions for major global customers. He now leads Flexport’s business development across South East Asia, giving him a rare view of trade from both ends: the destination side (where the customer sits) and the origin side (where the goods leave), along with the struggles businesses face connecting these two together.
