The Frontier of the New Geoeconomy: Supply Chains and Technology
As trade patterns realign and supply chains fragment, competitiveness depends on reading the new global map. Dr Jin will unpack how structural shifts, China’s and India’s evolving roles, policy frictions, and regionalisation, reshape risk, cost, and growth. Expect a pragmatic playbook for resilience: portfolio‑of‑supply strategies, scenario planning for trade shocks, and where to build optionality without eroding efficiency. The session equips executives to balance resilience with competitiveness in a world of frequent economic and geopolitical surprises.
