Caught between China and the US: What’s your next move?

China is your supplier. Your competitor. And a geopolitical question mark.
Tariffs are shifting. Regulations are changing. Trade tensions are rising.
For European companies, sourcing from China is becoming a much more complex game.

In this Impact Webinar, we look at the changing power play between China, the US and Europe. More importantly, we explore what it means for your business. What is coming your way? And how do you make smart supply chain decisions when the rules keep changing?

What we’ll cover:

• What European companies can learn from China’s powerful industrial and supply chain ecosystems
• How US China relations and tariffs could impact your sourcing, costs and supply chain decisions
• What new European regulations, customs rules and import taxes mean for companies buying from China
• How China’s shift from components to finished products is changing the sourcing game
• How to manage supply chain risk in an increasingly unpredictable global market

Who should attend?

Anyone who needs to make smart supply chain choices in a world where Washington, Beijing and Brussels keep changing the rules.
