OUR MISSION

Accelerating investment, innovation & adoption

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In this landscape of accelerating change, operators risk misallocating up to 80% of their CAPEX by sticking with outdated technologies and legacy thinking. What works today won’t work tomorrow.

So the questions become urgent:

  • As a supply chain leader: 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?
  • As an investor: Which businesses will thrive a decade from now and how can you guide your portfolio companies toward lasting success?

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 lack the confidence that new technologies will deliver a strong return on their limited capital.

Time and attention are scarce. Navigating the full SC&L tech landscape - especially when it comes to startups and emerging challengers - is a major challenge.

Yet, if we can overcome these obstacles and accelerate adoption, innovators will scale faster, supply chains will become more resilient, and 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. Their perspective is not just useful — it’s essential.

By connecting operators, innovators, investors and ecosystem partners, SCL Investor is designed to uncover the answers and accelerate value creation across the supply chain.
