Where investors, execs and innovators in supply chain & logistics meet
OUR MISSION
Accelerate investment & innovation

Deglobalisation, digitalisation, decarbonisation and shifting demographics are reshaping the future of supply chain and logistics.
In this landscape of accelerating change, operators risk misallocating up to 80% of their capital by sticking with outdated technologies and legacy thinking. What works today won’t work tomorrow.
So the questions become urgent:
- As a supply chain operator: How should your business evolve and which technologies deserve your investment?
- As a tech innovator: How can you anticipate shifting priorities and scale solutions that truly meet the moment? Who should you partner with?
- As an investor: Which businesses will thrive a decade from now and how can you guide your portfolio companies toward lasting success?
"Over 50% of large supply chain companies are actually headquartered in Europe but Europe's underfunded on a VC perspective in supply chain by a factor of over 2x"

"Europe currently accounts for only 5% of logistics venture funding worldwide, while representing 13% of overall venture funding [of a €7 trillion market]"

"Nearly two-thirds (64%) of [supply chains] perceive AI as the key to supply chain improvements, in the form of lower costs and increased resilience. However, only 1% indicate that they have been able to fully automate processes, whether through partial robotic automation or full AI implementation"

Why SCL Investor?
Our deep experience supporting supply chain operators through digital transformation and operational improvement gives us a front-row seat to the barriers holding back faster technology adoption.
In a rapidly evolving world, it’s difficult to pinpoint which supply chain and logistics investments will truly drive profitability and long-term value.
CAPEX decision-makers often view supply chain as a cost centre and remain unconvinced that investing in new technologies will yield a strong return on limited capital, undermining its potential as a source of competitive advantage.
Time and attention are scarce. Navigating the full SC&L tech landscape is a major challenge, especially when it comes to startups and emerging challengers.
Yet, if we can overcome these obstacles and accelerate adoption, innovators will scale faster, make supply chains more agile, resilient & sustainable so that everyone who depends on them — which is all of us — will benefit.
Within their areas of focus, investors are already making informed bets on what the future holds: how customer needs will shift, how supply chains must evolve, and which technologies will underpin that transformation. The investor perspective is not just useful — it’s essential.
