Pharma & Medtech Sectors 1.00 - 1.20pm Speakers:
Next generation industries are agile, data driven, resilient and sustainable. To evolve towards this, it is time to accelerate industries’ adoption of technologies so that companies can gain an advantage in navigating the storm and be positioned to be profitable. 1.20 - 2.00pm COVID-19 has severely impacted numerous industry sectors but some like the Pharma and MedTech sectors have managed to fare better so far. But with changing demand behaviours and needs due to the pandemic, disruptions to production, workforce operations, supply chains and distribution, Pharma and Medtech sector leaders need to contend with issues concerning performance, business resilience and partner networks. This panel will consider the challenges facing sector stakeholders from around the region i.e. what do they see as priorities in the face of uncertainties and emerging opportunities, how their organisations can build resilience, develop capabilities and agility with Industry 4.0 and digital technologies to thrive in the new normal, with possible reference to examples of projects in the field.

FMCG Sector 2.30 - 2.50pm Speaker: Ramin Shariatmadari, Head of Industries & Head of Value Engineering, SAP APJ The FMCG sector as a market has weathered the COVID-19 situation relatively well but manufacturers and other stakeholders in the sector have faced supply chain disruptions, operational challenges due to workplace safety restrictions, workforce movement constraints and logistical issues. Such challenges however indicate ways in which FMCG businesses could adopt Industry 4.0 and develop capabilities that can help them become more resilient and agile in response to uncertainties and market shifts. This keynote will highlight ways in which Industry 4.0 technologies e.g. data-driven solutions & automation can help businesses maintain performance, improve resource utilisation and production quality, execute processes more efficiently & provide insights for planning and innovation. 2.50 - 3.30pm COVID-19 has severely impacted numerous industry sectors but some like the FMCG sector have managed to perform relatively well. Nonetheless, with consumer behaviours and needs changing due to the pandemic, disruptions to production, operations, supply chains and distribution, FMCG sector leaders face new challenges that may be on top of pre-COVID issues with performance, efficiency and business resilience. As such, FMCG sector businesses should look to secure a solid baseline to become more resilient and thus better position themselves for emerging opportunities. This panel session will address what FMCG businesses’ priorities should be against current uncertainties and how they could adopt and build on Industry 4.0 capabilities, with reference to case studies and examples of those businesses that have done so and how this enables them to plan and thrive in the ‘new normal’.

Semicon and Electronics & Electrical Manufacturing Sectors
Panel: COVID-19 had severely impacted numerous industries including the Semicon and Electrical and Electronics sectors, with wide-ranging effects seen in workforce shortages, supply chain and logistical disruptions that affected demand fulfilment. While industry players may have adjusted to the immediate challenges, these issues highlighted areas that deserve attention even as operating conditions improve and recover. How do industry stakeholders view their priorities going forward i.e. where are organisations now in their state of resilience? How do they plan to approach solutions such as Industry 4.0 technologies to better manage their operations and production processes? This forum will look at more specific examples of how Industry 4.0 capabilities can help manufacturers e.g. through capture of digital data for better insights, deploy process automation solutions and other measures to improve resilience and agility to adapt to fluctuating market demand. This panel will consider what should be key priorities for industry stakeholders in the face of uncertainties, emerging opportunities, with examples of what some organisations have done. Panelists:
