细分领域

The intersection between business logistics and HL: what can both sectors learn from each other to better tackle the challenges of tomorrow?

The role of public-private partnerships towards leveraging core competencies and capacities in HL.

Use of commercial technology (drones, software, AI, 3D printing, etc.) and commercial business models in humanitarian organizations (e.g., fleet-leasing solutions).

Localization of HL, including the role of affected populations and the empowerment of national and local stakeholders (e.g., local procurement) in providing humanitarian aid.

Sustainability (environmental and social) and HL in the context of increasing donor pressure and regulatory changes (e.g., the EU CSDDD and related acts).

Cross-sectoral and intra-sectoral collaboration (e.g., shared services, outsourcing) and coopetition between commercial and humanitarian actors, especially involving local companies and NGOs.

The shift from a product-based paradigm (i.e., delivering tangible relief items) to a service perspective and its implications for HL.

The convergence between humanitarian aid and development assistance (i.e., the so-called humanitarian development nexus) and the role of logistics throughout the disaster management cycle.
