(MENAFN- Mid-East Info) Fifth Annual Economist Impact Summit to take place in Dubai from October 1st–2nd 2025

The global trading system has shattered, as long-held certainties over rules, alliances and norms are jettisoned. New trade
relations and commercial routes are being established. What might the future look like, who wins and loses-and what can
companies do to prepare?

Join leading experts in supply-chain operations, procurement, technology and trade policy to explore the changes. With the
support of the New Economy Academy of Dubai, this summit is a major meeting point to consider the fallout of tariffs, the
reordering of supply-chain networks and insights into how companies can harness AI to improve procurement, resilience
and performance.

Confirmed speakers include Sanjeev Majoo, chief procurement officer at AbbVie; Kristyn Harkins, head of global supply
chain services at Johnson & Johnson; and H.E. Raja Al Mazrouei, chief executive of Etihad Credit Insurance. They will be
joined by supply and procurement leaders, trade policymakers and AI experts from across the globe.

Unlike other forums focused only on trade policy, this summit will provide actionable insight from within the business
community. Discussions will go beyond theory, with case studies from organisations navigating the new era of
protectionism, climate disruption and critical mineral monopolies. Delegates will explore the fallout of extreme tariffs, the
reordering of supply-chain networks and how companies can harness AI to improve business performance, procurement,
security and resilience.

Dr. Laila Faridoon, chief executive of New Economy Academy, said:“The New Economy Academy is thrilled to sponsor
Economist Impact's Global Trade and Supply Chain Summit, which directly addresses the new realities of a rapidly
changing global economy-the very landscape our programs at the Academy are designed to navigate. We empower UAE
