Main Stage
Supply Chain Resilience – How to Promote Prosperity in Europe
Over the past two years, Europe has had to significantly adjust its perspective. This is particularly evident in the political sphere (the U.S.’s new stance toward Europe, wars in neighboring regions, uncertainty as a new normal), but it is also having a noticeable impact on businesses.
Tariffs, sanctions, export and import restrictions, and geopolitical upheavals are straining global supply chains and trade relations.
The panel will examine the responses and forward-looking strategies of business stakeholders, as well as upcoming challenges and opportunities for Germany and Europe. The panelists will offer diverse perspectives and discuss the necessary economic actions and options for flexibility, resilience, and economic success.
