What is the role of Industry 4.0 in redrawing supply chain maps, and who are the players pioneering innovations? Which sectors are going to be most dramatically impacted by potential shifts in global supply chains, and how is this creating new investment opportunities? How is the “One Road – One Belt” initiative changing the transportation of goods and services, and what technological advances are delivering systemic efficiencies?
