The grounding of a cargo ship in the Suez Canal that disrupted international trade for six days in March exposed in dramatic fashion the fragility of the global supply chain. As engineers tried to free the wedged 1,300-foot vessel, the costs ticked upward, amounting to an estimated $9.6 billion a day in lost trade. A COVID-19-induced breakdown in semiconductor production in Taiwan continues to idle factories and slow production of everything from cars to gaming consoles worldwide, underscoring the interdependence of the world’s economies. These two incidents lay bare critical weaknesses in the global supply chain amid growing risk from climate disasters, International conflict and other disruptions. A modern economy demands modern solutions. Join Foreign Policy, with support from Black Sky, for a discussion of how we can apply new technologies such as artificial intelligence, earth observation and real-time data collection to anticipate threats, make rapid, informed decisions and mitigate or avoid disruptions. Experts in national security, defense, intelligence and global risk management will explore key threats and vulnerabilities in the supply chain and the new tools and technologies that can build resilience and security for global trade. You’ll hear from these experts:  Gilman Louie, Commissioner, The National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence and co-founder and partner of Alsop Louie Partners, an early-stage technology venture capital firm that focuses on disruptive and innovative technology.  Bob Kolasky, Assistant Director, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s National Risk Management Center at the Department of Homeland Security John Mills, Senior Project Engineer, Federal, Civil and Homeland Security Programs, The Aerospace Corporation We’ll explore these and other core questions:  What are the most critical risks that threaten supply chains? What are governments and private sector leaders doing to mitigate those threats? How can satellite technology and data analytics aid systemic risk monitoring?  What is the “new normal” of supply chains in a post-pandemic world?  Event Details Predicting the Next Supply Chain Disruption June 9, 2021 11:00 am - 12:00 pm EDT   Register   I look forward to seeing you online!
