Key takeaways & next steps:

  • Empowering women in leadership roles is essential. Women leaders can inspire and pave the way for others, and it’s crucial women don’t relinquish hard-fought positions but utilize their influence to facilitate the rise of more women into leadership roles. 
  • Public-private partnership is crucial to winning in global competition, including utilizing a whole-of-government approach in cooperating with the private sector. 
  • Stable democracies are critical to maintaining a conducive environment for economic growth, as supply chain resilience and international trade is reliant on established international norms being followed through. 
  • Supply chain resiliency must include reshoring as a way of securing supply chains against global disruptions and boosting the export strategy of the U.S.
