Tariffs, Geopolitics, and the New Supply Chain Playbook: How Companies Are Rewiring Global Trade in 2026
Tariffs and geopolitics have rapidly become the defining forces shaping global supply chains. Today, tariffs alone are affecting 20-40% of supply-chain activity for many companies, with 82% of businesses impacted by new trade measures, driving cost pressures, and shifting demand across industries. At the same time, geopolitics is no longer a source of isolated disruption-it is fundamentally reshaping sourcing strategies, shipping routes, and global trade flows through sustained tensions, trade restrictions, and shifting alliances.
In this session, Dr. Kaushik Ghatak will explore how these forces are rewriting the rules of global trade and what this means for companies operating across borders. The discussion will examine why tariffs have become the number one supply-chain concern, how geopolitical pressure is structurally reshaping global networks, and why leaders are moving from efficiency-first models toward resilience-first strategies.
This session will distill the noise into practical, actionable frameworks to help companies navigate tariffs, sanctions, and geopolitical volatility with confidence. Participants will walk away with a clearer understanding of the new global trade landscape and concrete ideas for building supply chains that can withstand uncertainty while remaining competitive.
