Post-pandemic prosperity will be based upon trust and resilience.

As liberalism falls out of favor 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?

Themes of the day

Day 1 : Geopolitics, Supply-Chain Resilience, and Logistics.
Day 2: we discuss Globalisation, Cold Chains, 3D Printing, Supply-Chain Visibility.
Day 3: Digital Trade, Trade Finance, Data, Taxes, and Infrastructure, Transformation.

How can governments balance the competing goals of trade/investment liberalization and protection for national security concerns? What about areas that may implicate both, such as digital technologies or climate change? This presentation will assess the economic, political, and legal implications of invoking essential security in designing foreign investment and cross-border trade policy.
