Webinar #8: Resilience in Times of War?
The conflict in Iran, Israel, and several Gulf countries is having a significant impact on global supply chains. While the energy sector— particularly oil and gas markets —faces immediate price shocks, the ripple effects extend far beyond. Fertilizer supplies are under severe strain, with experts warning of potential food shortages in the coming months. And critical industries such as semiconductors are grappling with shortages of essential materials like helium. This conflict underscores the exposure to highly concentrated trade routes and how fragile global supply chains are.
Join this upcoming webinar with highly experienced speakers to better understand vulnerabilities in global supply chains, their economic effects, and how to strengthen resilience to ensure security of supply for the future.
