In recent years, the resurgence of nationalism and protectionism has called globalization into question. The ongoing war of aggression against Ukraine, rising geopolitical tensions — particularly between the U.S. and China — and now the introduction of new U.S. tariffs are adding further strain to global trade. These developments underscore the urgency of building resilient supply chains.

How will the re-emergence of global blocs and the escalation of trade conflicts impact logistics networks? What role do tariffs and political tensions play in shaping international trade and sourcing strategies? The panel will explore these pressing questions, with a focus on the consequences for global supply chains and the strategic actions companies need to take to remain agile and competitive in an increasingly fragmented world.
