Geopolitics conference

Business leaders need to stay informed about global political shifts, anticipate risks, and adapt their strategies accordingly. As geopolitical tensions impact supply chains, market access, and investment climates, executives must proactively engage with these dynamics to safeguard their organizations’ interests and foster resilience.

Enterprise Europe Brussels @Beci is partnering with UBI Business School for this event to inform Brussels companies with key and leading experts about the last trends of geopolitics and its influence on global business.
