Outlook 2008<br />

2008 is a turbulent year offering both opportunities <strong>and</strong> risks. Today’s markets are as volatile as ever before. Despite the<br />

strong growth of the German business sector, uncertainty is increasing. Prices for basic commodities, raw materials <strong>and</strong><br />

logistics services are constantly on the rise. The procurement markets are experiencing temporary shortages. In the light of<br />

this development, companies must always be ready to face new challenges.<br />

Therefore, purchasing <strong>and</strong> supply management are key factors in a company’s success. In order to successfully cover the<br />

span between cost optimisation, quality assurance <strong>and</strong> availability, it is necessary to identify innovative solutions.<br />

Under the slogan “<strong>Challenging</strong> Markets” we will present as well as intensively discuss new tried <strong>and</strong> tested solutions for<br />

global procurement, partnerships with suppliers <strong>and</strong> supply chain management.<br />

Face the challenges!<br />

We welcome you to Berlin.<br />
