The NextWave in conversation with industry giants: Skills, AI, and talent for Asia’s future of project logistics

Asia’s project logistics sector faces a critical workforce challenge: a shrinking pool of specialized technical talent and a widening gap between traditional logistics skillsets and the digital capabilities now required. At the same time, AI and automation are rapidly reshaping workflows – from engineering support to documentation, compliance, and operational planning – creating new hybrid roles that blend domain expertise with digital literacy.

During this session, a young professional interviews senior leaders from across EPCs, ports, and project logistics. Together, they explore the skills the industry urgently needs, how AI will transform future roles, and what it will take to attract, develop, and retain the next generation of talent across Asia’s diverse markets.
