Join a luncheon to explore the topic of transforming future industrial networks — via a partnership and panel discussion with Georgia Tech’s Sam Nunn School of International Affairs.
The post-Cold War era brings a resurgence of great power competition highlighted by disruptive technologies, nuclear proliferation, cyberspace conflicts, and more. With roles and responsibilities within our U.S. military-industrial complex blurred, the business sector sits in the midst of national security like never before.
A long list of hyper anxiety-producing situations in the daily news reinforces this: from attacks on private ships carrying supply chain products and the cutting of fiber cables in the Nordic Seas, to trade wars with Asia, Canada, and Mexico. From a military perspective, we’re facing issues on many fronts: the Middle East, Syria, Taiwan, North and South Korea, Ukraine, etc. Our nation faces hurdles deploying the number of ships we need due to inefficiencies across maintenance, ship-building, and non-resilient supply chains.
Meanwhile, the U.S. industrial base is challenged with processes mostly designed during WW2 and the Cold War. Decisions by private industry and the financial sectors will have far-reaching repercussions for global stability and U.S. military doctrine.
Please join our esteemed panel to learn how private sector innovation can transform processes and optimize scarce resources across government agencies and the private sector.
