We are honoured that for the first time in eBF’s history, one of the stages has been taken over by one of our partners. This year's Asahi Stage, chaired by Mr. Tomas Veit, offered not only an overview of what the global brewing group Asahi is doing in the field of digitalisation, but it also included contributions from procurement experts from other trend-setting leading international companies. One important discussion topic among many was the changing role of procurement in the “New Procurement” era.
