Collective defense requires resilience and that requires a whole-of-society approach. The private sector has a crucial role to play to ensure that the supply of goods and services continues uninterrupted and that we plan for potentially challenging times in the future. \n  \n⇒NATO will share its vision for the role of the private sector in the U.S. & Europe in collective defense: \n\nWhat role does the private sector play in increasing our overall resilience?\n How will the war in Ukraine continue to impact trade worldwide?\nWhat is at stake?\nAnd how can we make sure shareholders choose the protection of democratic values over the pursuit of monetary value?\n\n  \n⇒Microsoft is playing an important role in Ukraine’s ability to continue business operations under extreme conditions. They will share how technology supports building resilience and digital stability for global businesses and governments. \n\nWhole of society approach.\nHow technology can support resilience and enhance national security.\nPublic/Private partnerships and knowledge sharing.\n\n  \n⇒Deloitte will provide an update on their 2022 industry scenario report “Reshaped by War…Examining the conflict in Ukraine and business implications for our interconnected world”\, focusing on the impact of the Ukrainian conflict and the significance of near-term future scenarios for informed decision-making especially in energy-intensive and commodity industries. \n\nBusiness implications of these scenarios across domains\, including macroeconomic issues\, supply chains\, energy\, and food.\nTrends that are likely to persist across all scenarios for businesses and governments:\n\n– Inflationary pressure on global economic growth; \n– Global supply chains shocks and reconfiguration; \n– Increased focus on energy independence but new challenges for an energy transition; \n– Increased risk of doing business in and with Russia; \n– Risk to global food security; \n– Heightened cyber risks. \n  \nTarget Audience: \nThis program is meant for U.S. and European business leaders & founders of companies of all sizes and industries as well as government\, embassy\, consular & trade officials.  \n  \nPlatform: MS Teams \nDate:  Monday\, June 12\, 11 am EDT / 5 pm CET (60 minutes) \n\n\nREGISTER HERE\nSpeakers Bio:\n \nAdmiral Rob Bauer \nChair of the Military Committee – NATO \nAdmiral Rob Bauer is the 33rd Chair of the Military Committee of NATO\, serving as the conduit between NATO‘s Chiefs of Defence and the political decision-making bodies.
