Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Verve Management will kick off the year of digital transformation – the year 2023 – with another premier initiative in the region, The Middle East ProcureTech Summit. The summit devoted to a disruptive procurement sector will be unveiled on February 21-22, 2023, in Dubai, UAE.
The growth of procurement within the region is on an uphill trajectory combined with the adoption of technology and supply chains. According to the latest market report, the Global Procurement Software Market was valued at 4.7 billion USD in 2021. It is expected to grow at a healthy CAGR of 10.17% to reach 10.2 billion USD by 2027. The market growth factors are the increasing need for procurement process automation and the rapid adoption of e-procurement technology. The rapid strides with which digital technology is being adopted by businesses is transforming the way they operate. From finance to procurement to marketing, digital technology empowers teams with better control over operations.
At the summit this year, we’ll take a deep dive into the modified paradigm of the procurement industry, focused on the new technology adopted by the industry to change the procurement game. The summit aims to provide a platform for like-minded individuals to gather and discuss the new era of Digital Procurement with topics such as Cloud procurement, E-Procurement Solutions, and Supplier Relationship Management (SRM), to name a few.
