7/28/25, 3:43 PM Global Trade & Supply Chain Summit to Discuss Innovating in an Era of Shocks and Shifts – Executive Bulletin
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 citizens with the skills to succeed in areas like finance,

investment, and entrepreneurship, mirroring the summit’s focus on equipping decision-makers with

actionable insights. By fostering financial awareness and future-oriented thinking, we prepare the next
generation of leaders to thrive in the complex world of global trade and contribute to a resilient future

economy. Our support for the event underscores our commitment to providing cutting-edge knowledge

and fostering collaboration to address the critical issues facing global trade today.”

Across two days, attendees will:

Discover evidence-based case studies as opposed to hypotheticals and predictions. More than 60 expert case-study
speakers will spark vital discussions and deliver practical takeaways.

Network with 80 supply chain and procurement executive speakers from leading organisations.

Analyse the transition from just-in-time models to more complex, resilient supply chains. Executives will leave with

practical strategies to de-risk supply chains, improve procurement and navigate a fragmented world.

Americana Foods and the World Economic Forum.

Additionally, the agenda features extensive networking opportunities and cross-industry sessions to
