COVID-19 has had an unprecedented impact on global business. How long will you weather the storm? When will things return to “normal”? Hear directly from Maryland’s Secretary of Commerce on what resources are available to Maryland businesses to navigate COVID-19, as well as what the state and local companies are doing to overcome this challenge.

Over the last few decades, globalization has been a powerful force raising incomes and lifting millions out of poverty. But in our interconnected world, the risk of contagion – both financial and medical – is greater than ever. In 2008, a financial crisis ravaged the global economy. Now the Corona virus has sent the world’s economy reeling. Even before the pandemic, populism and nationalism emerged as a potent challenge to the global order. Now, international cooperation is key to solving this current crisis. Can we revolutionize the ways in which we collaborate across borders in order to move forward towards a more stable future?

What specific impacts and disruptions, both good and bad, will the virus bring to business across the globe?  We will discuss regional and global implications happening now, and what the future holds for organizations around the world.

Your supply chain acts as the circulatory system of your business and is equally as complex and can easily make or break your business. COVID-19 has exposed many vulnerabilities of organizations worldwide during this pandemic, especially those with a high dependence on China as a supplier.  In this webinar we’ll focus on new supply chain technologies that are emerging beyond the linear supply-chain model and towards end-to-end visibility, collaboration, agility, and optimization by utilizing innovative tools such as digital supply networks (DSNs), A.I., 5G and other applications to help ensure management of supply chain disruption during a global pandemic.

We have yet to grasp the full implications of COVID-19 to the global economy. Will jobs continue to shift to emerging markets or is re-shoring the new normal? In this session Anirban Basu will weigh in on the winners and losers of the COVID-19 crisis, as well as challenges and opportunities going forward.
