The summit aims to shift the focus from responding to global supply chain disruptions to taking proactive measures to enhance economic competitiveness. Participants will share best practices for identifying and addressing supply chain vulnerabilities, with an emphasis on collaboration across sectors.
A highlight of the event was the launch of the Commerce Department’s new Supply Chain Center, part of the International Trade Administration’s Industry and Analysis Division. The center aims to combine industry expertise with advanced data analytics to develop tools for assessing supply chain risks and drive targeted actions in critical supply chains and emerging technologies.
“Securing America’s supply chain is critical to protecting our national security and strengthening our economic competitiveness,” said U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo. “This summit will help us engage with industry and showcase the proactive strategy the Biden-Harris Administration is taking to make our supply chain more secure through data-driven tools and initiatives.”
