Supply Chain Technology Conference and Expo (ICDI2026-SCTECH) — where academic research and industry practice meet to shape technology-enabled, resilient and sustainable supply chains.
Now entering its 9th year, the International Conference on Digital Innovation (ICDI) continues its commitment to advancing meaningful exchange among scholars, researchers, practitioners, industry professionals, and technology leaders. In 2026, ICDI enters a new chapter through its collaboration with SCTECH 2026 – Supply Chain Technology Conference & Expo, bringing together academic research and industry perspectives within a broader global platform dedicated to technology, innovation, and the future of supply chains.
Held as part of the SCTECH 2026 programme on 21 October 2026, ICDI2026–SCTECH provides a multidisciplinary forum for exploring how emerging technologies, digital transformation, and innovative practices can address the increasingly complex challenges faced by organisations and global supply chains. The conference seeks to strengthen the connection between academic inquiry and practical application by encouraging the exchange of research findings, technological insights, and real-world experiences that contribute to more effective, resilient, sustainable, and value-driven systems.
Through this collaboration, ICDI2026–SCTECH brings academia and industry closer together to examine the opportunities and challenges arising from rapid technological change. Particular emphasis is placed on how technologies such as artificial intelligence, data analytics, digital platforms, automation, and other emerging innovations can support better decision-making, operational efficiency, sustainability, resilience, and responsible growth. By creating a shared space for research, practice, and professional dialogue, the conference aims to generate knowledge and perspectives that can contribute to shaping the future of digital innovation and technology-enabled supply chains.
The main objectives of the ICDI2026-SCTECH are:
The conference seeks to examine how artificial intelligence, data analytics, digital platforms, automation, and other emerging technologies can enhance decision-making, operational efficiency, resilience, sustainability, and responsible growth across supply chains.
