Global supply chains are facing unprecedented challenges—fraud, inefficiency, and a lack of transparency threaten industries ranging from food and pharmaceuticals to luxury goods. Traditional tracking methods, reliant on centralized databases and outdated processes, are proving inadequate in an era where trust, security, and compliance are paramount.In this episode, we examine how blockchain technology is fundamentally transforming supply chain management, ensuring verifiable authenticity, regulatory compliance, and operational resilience. We analyze how industry leaders—including Nestlé, Walmart, Carrefour, De Beers, LVMH, Prada, Cartier, Dior, Givenchy, Louis Vuitton, Mercedes-Benz, Zegna, Pfizer, Lilly, and Johnson & Johnson—are deploying blockchain to strengthen oversight, mitigate risks, and drive accountability.We explore IBM Food Trust’s impact on food safety, Aura Blockchain Consortium’s role in combatting counterfeiting, and MediLedger Network’s innovations in pharmaceutical integrity. Additionally, we discuss advanced implementations such as NFT-based authentication, zero-knowledge proofs, smart contracts, and quantum-resistant cryptography, all of which are shaping the next generation of supply chain security.For business leaders, policymakers, and technology professionals, this episode provides a critical analysis of blockchain’s role in redefining global commerce—setting new standards for trust, efficiency, and resilience in supply chain operations. --------------------------------------------------------------------------Would you like to be a guest on our growing podcast?
