FHI Management Session & Summer BBQ
How do we respond to current geopolitical developments?
Insights by Arend Jan Boekestijn on a changing world.
The world is changing rapidly. Trade tensions between major powers, war in Europe, the energy transition and a growing call for strategic autonomy are putting pressure on international chains. Who will emerge as the winner? America, Africa, India, China, Europe — or another player?
These geopolitical developments also affect you as a technology entrepreneur. Whether you are active in industrial electronics, automation, laboratory technology or building automation — the influence on your business strategy is undeniable.
In this lecture, Arend Jan Boekestijn takes you along in the geopolitical shifts that you cannot ignore. What are the risks? And above all: which realistic future scenarios lie ahead?
With his sharp analyses and accessible style, Boekestijn translates major world developments into concrete insights. What are the consequences for a stronger Europe and the Netherlands? What do we have influence on — and what not? What opportunities arise when you understand what is going on?
Topics covered:
- The Impact of Geopolitics on Supply Chains and Security of Supply
- European industrial policy
- Innovation and investment developments
- Bloc formation on the world stage
