WEBINAR: In Chaos We Create: Bridging the Critical Raw Materials Gap Through Strategic Convergence

As geopolitical instability, economic uncertainty, and technological acceleration converge, access to Critical Raw Materials (CRMs)—the backbone of AI, energy transition, and robotics—faces unprecedented risk.

From green energy to advanced manufacturing and national defense, the stakes are high, while CRM supply chains remain fragile, concentrated, and increasingly exposed to geopolitical friction.

How do nations and industries secure the resources they need in a fractured world?

This exclusive session, hosted by Supply Chain Now’s Scott Luton, brings together global strategist and geopolitical leader General John Allen, retired United States Marine Corps four-star general, and former commander of the NATO International Security Assistance Force and U.S. Forces – Afghanistan (USFOR-A) and current President of Globsec’s GeoTech Center, and Koray Köse, Senior Fellow at Globsec, Founder & Chief Analyst at Kose Advisory and leading expert in supply chain resilience, AI, and geopolitics.

Join us for a conversation that explores how technology, governance, and cross-sector collaboration must align to close the widening supply-demand gap for CRMs by 2030.

Webinar attendees will learn:

  • The severity of current CRM exposure to global supply chains and economies and why it presents a strategic crisis for the free world
  • Why CRMs are not just the NEXT, but the most CURRENT critical geopolitical fault line
  • How AI, risk management platforms, and advanced analytics can illuminate and secure complex global value chains
  • Practical steps governments, investors, and corporations must take to enable transparent, secure, and resilient CRM sourcing
  • Why proactive partnerships between defense, industry, and tech are essential to redefining supply chain leadership
  • How independent think tanks like Globsec and the GeoTech Research Center play a vital role in shaping urgent, inclusive, and actionable global policy

How do Supply Chains Stay Lean in a Disrupted World?

Disruptions have forced manufacturers to pivot from Just in Time to “just in case.” Manufacturers work closely with partners to better understand threats and opportunities and plan for the worst. But staying close to a larger and more diversified supply base adds complexity and risk. Manufacturers are left building up safety stock or expediting material, crushing profits. To drive transformation that delivers ROI, manufacturers need to be able to connect data across their technology and process silos, analyze that data to develop insights, and then drive action from those insights. Many manufacturers invest heavily in collecting and analyzing but miss the action step. The companies leading the digital manufacturing revolution are tuned into the right data and use it to drive their ongoing operations.   Check out this webinar with our friends from ServiceNow to learn: · Why supply chain innovation could become the biggest competitive differentiator between success and failure in the future · Managing supply chain exceptions in the time of disruption · How to manage large complex supplier logistics and customer ecosystems
