DHL Innovation Logistics Trend Radar

Podcast overview

--:--
Consider everything around you, and imagine how it got to you. It almost certainly used the not-so-hidden world of logistics to end up in your hands, and this world is easily impacted by technology, trends, geo-politics and global pandemics. It’s also a business that can’t survive by reacting... it has to predict.

For the past five years, DHL has released an annual Trend Radar Report - a forecast of the things that will shape the world to come. In this podcast series, we’ll be exploring some of those trends, and finding out from DHL and their partners how the world is set to change - from self-driving cars and artificial intelligence, to the internet of things and space transport.

In this episode, we take a broad look at the latest edition of the Trend Radar Report, and grab a sneak peek at some of the topics to be uncovered later in the series.
