From Shocks to Shifts: Shoring Up Supply Chains in an Age of Trade Turbulence
Wars in the Middle East and Europe. Rockets in the Red Sea. Competing industrial policies in key international markets — all in the wake of a pandemic that upended the global economy. Managing a supply chain has never been so complex.
But beyond fixes for short-term shocks, how are companies negotiating enduring shifts, adjusting to newfound trade turbulence and whipsaw regulatory changes? Is globalization dead, or was a strategic shortening of supply chains inevitable to guard against strategic vulnerabilities
Join Global Atlanta and Aprio for breakfast and a nuanced discussion with global executives calibrating their companies’ responses to these challenges and more as they manage influential factories and distribution facilities in Georgia.
