Supply Chain Security Focus Week 2026

Welcome to techUK’s Supply Chain Security Campaign Week!
This week, we shine a spotlight on the evolving challenges, technologies and partnerships shaping the future of secure and resilient supply chains across the UK.
As supply chains become increasingly digitised, interconnected and globally distributed, securing them has become a critical priority for organisations across every sector. From managing third-party cyber risk and strengthening operational resilience, to protecting critical national infrastructure and defence supply networks, the integrity of supply chains is now fundamental to the UK’s economic prosperity and national security.
This campaign week will explore the technologies, policies and collaborative approaches shaping supply chain security and showcase how techUK members and stakeholders are responding to an increasingly complex threat landscape. Throughout the week, contributions from across techUK’s Cyber Resilience, Defence and National Security programmes will examine the role of innovation, collaboration and resilience in securing the UK’s supply chains.
Across the week, contributions from techUK members and stakeholders will explore themes including:
Emerging technologies in supply chain security: opportunities, risks and resilience
Third-party risk management and accountability across supply chains
Global approaches to supply chain security, standards and best practice
The role of public-private collaboration in strengthening national resilience
Defence supply chain security and the implications of AI, autonomy and digital transformation
Managing legacy systems, shadow IT and emerging risks associated with unapproved AI tools
Building secure and resilient supply chains across critical sectors and industries
As part of the week, techUK will also launchSupply Chain Security in Practice Playbook, a collection of case studies bringing together practical insights and proven strategies to help organisations of all sizes strengthen resilience across their supply chains.
