In an environment of heightened geopolitical competition, evolving trade policies, and growing interest in advanced nuclear technologies, suppliers are facing increasingly complex challenges in managing supply chain risk, compliance obligations, and market uncertainty. This panel will bring together representatives from government and industry to discuss the evolving threat environment, including foreign adversaries, trade restrictions, supply chain vulnerabilities, and the practical steps and resources organizations can employ to strengthen resilience. The discussion will focus on topics such as integrating geopolitical risk into international supply chain partnerships and strategies; navigating export controls, tariffs, and trade compliance requirements; strengthening supplier vetting and due diligence processes; and building internal capabilities for compliance. The objective is to provide attendees, in particular suppliers from non-nuclear adjacent sectors or suppliers in the sector seeking international partnerships, with actionable insights into how organizations are moving from awareness to implementation as they address these challenges.

What you will gain:

Participants will gain practical strategies for integrating geopolitical risk, trade compliance, export controls, sanctions, tariffs, supplier vetting, due diligence, audit readiness, and national security considerations into day-to-day supply chain operations.

Who should attend:

Chief Procurement Officers, supply chain executives, risk management leaders, compliance and legal professionals, trade compliance and import/export teams, supplier qualification and vendor oversight personnel, strategic sourcing professionals, nuclear suppliers, OEMs, government relations teams, and regulatory affairs professionals.
