Procurement 2035: New Skills, New Rules, New Impact
As we look ahead to 2035, Procurement is no longer just about managing costs – it’s about shaping strategy, driving innovation, and leading sustainable transformation.
At this pivotal moment, the rules of the game are changing. AI, digital transformation, and global megatrends are redefining what it means to be a procurement leader. At EIPM, we’ve mapped five bold scenarios for the future – from AI-orchestrated operations to agile squads, ecosystem transformers, analyst-driven models, and category-centric strategies. The future won’t favour a single path – but those who know how to combine the right elements to fit their ambition.
Success will demand new skills, new mindsets, and a bold willingness to challenge the status quo.
Join a powerful gathering of CPOs, procurement executives, thought leaders, and rising talents as we explore what the next decade holds. Through visionary keynotes, real-world case studies, dynamic roundtables, and powerful networking opportunities, we’ll uncover how procurement can make a deeper impact on business, people, and the planet.
Discover what it takes to lead procurement into 2035 and beyond.
