Zebra Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: ZBRA) today announced the
company’s chief executive officer, Anders Gustafsson, will speak Tuesday
at the National Summit in Detroit, Michigan which will focus on the
future of the American economy. The National Summit is set for June 15-
17 at the Detroit Marriot Renaissance Center and is convened by the
Detroit Economic Club. The three-day conference brings together business
leaders, government officials and academic experts to discuss and
advance a national economic agenda.
Gustafsson will participate in the Summit’s Entrepreneurialism and
Innovation Town Hall, which will explore innovations in business and
technology that will create job opportunities to help repair the
national economy. At the Town Hall, Gustafsson will discuss how, through
open standards, technology can deliver the value of inter-connective and
accessible information that ultimately improves business productivity.
The session is set for 9:30 a.m. Tuesday, June 16, in the Mackinac Room
on the fifth floor of the Detroit Marriot Renaissance Center.
"Increased visibility and control in real time is a requirement for
competitive advantage in today’s global supply chains,” Gustafsson said.
"To meet the needs of supply chain operators, technology companies must
lead the way in improving the accuracy of information relating to their
most important business processes for competitive advantage. The cost of
inaccuracy within the supply chain is too high – from food recalls to
patient safety.”
