Global Trade Virtual Week
Prosperity powered by trust: technology, data and supply-chain resilience
Post-pandemic prosperity will be based upon trust and resilience.
Bridging the gap between high-level geopolitical debate, digital innovation and the day-to-day realities of managing supply-chains and logistics, this event will offer a unique opportunity to advance global trade dialogue and trust between key stakeholders.
As liberalism falls out of favour in the West, can the current rules-based order survive the next century? What have we learned about supply-chain resilience? Is Blockchain the fools gold or a panacea for paperless cross-border trade? Will EU carbon border taxes be a protectionist weapon in a green disguise? If data is the new oil, should it be valued as a commodity? How is global trade driving post-pandemic economic recovery and what is the exit strategy for easing Covid-19 export restrictions?
