Without procurement excellence, processes fail and products are late or faulty. As Board Member Nicolai Martin reveals, the new iX3 is only as good as the world-class purchasing and supply chain planning that keeps production flowing seamlessly. Over in aviation, International Airlines Group’ s Javier Escalera Orobón demonstrates how automation, strategic partnerships and talent development are revolutionising procurement in aviation.

These features underscore a fundamental truth: procurement is the strategic driver of innovation, sustainability and competitive advantage.
