On March 4th, the European Commission released its new EU Port Strategy, a framework designated to enhance the competitiveness, sustainability, and resilience of the Union’s maritime hubs. The strategy comes at a transformative period for global trade, as trade and shipping routes are rapidly reconfigured by the proliferation of tariffs, the emergence of economic partnerships, and the overarching demand for economic security and resilience. The strategic implications of this framework extends far beyond infrastructure to the very core of food security.
To analyze the intersections of EU Port Strategy and the real-world outcome for food security, TradeExperettes invites you to a webinar titled Strategic Gateways: The EU Port Strategy and the Future of Food Security, on Wednesday 18 March, 16:00 CET /11:00 EDT
