Weathering Supply Chain Storms Amid Global Uncertainty
Marco Forgione Director General, Chartered Institute of Export & International Trade
SESSION
Geopolitical tensions, climate change, and rising protectionism threaten free trade and supply chain security. The Ukraine war has increased energy prices and costs for British consumers and businesses. Cooperation with allies, especially the EU, is crucial for supply chain resilience. The OBR forecast predicts slower growth in UK export markets due to weaker eurozone and US import growth. Internal resilience weaknesses, illustrated by the impact of Heathrow’s closure, also threaten supply chain security. Championing free, fair international trade is essential in this environment. The UK plays a role in rebuilding trade relationships, including a potential deal with the US. The upcoming TCA review will also set the direction of the EU-UK trading partnership. Strategic government-industry initiatives can help UK businesses build resilient supply chains and diversify trade routes and this session will explore how those engaging in international trade can best be supported.

Charting the UKChina Trade Future: Opportunities and Risks
SESSION
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the UK’s trade relationship with China has become increasingly complex, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The UK government’s ‘Invest 2035’ industrial strategy aims to provide stability and encourage investment in high-growth sectors such as green technology, artificial intelligence, and healthcare. However, SMEs face significant challenges, including regulatory hurdles and fragmented support systems, which complicate market access and trade operations.
This panel will delve into the evolving trade landscape with China, focusing on how UK SMEs can navigate these challenges and capitalize on opportunities presented by ‘Invest 2035’. Discussions will address the specific obstacles SMEs encounter, such as complex regulatory environments and limited access to comprehensive support and information. The goal is to provide actionable insights and recommendations to help SMEs thrive in this dynamic context.
By fostering a collaborative dialogue among industry experts, policymakers, and business leaders, this session aims to shed light on practical strategies for the UK to successfully engage with the Chinese market amidst post-pandemic uncertainties and policy shifts.

Expanding Your Business Internationally: Challenges and Opportunities
SESSION
Shabir Djakiodine
Chartered Accountant & Partner, Euro Accounting
Expanding internationally offers businesses access to new markets, diversified revenue, and global visibility. However, it also presents challenges such as legal complexity, cultural adaptation, talent acquisition, and regulatory compliance. This session explores the core opportunities and risks of global expansion, providing strategic insights for companies ready to grow beyond borders. Using France as a study case, we’ll examine the steps involved in establishing a business abroad--from company formation and employment regulations to taxation and cultural integration. France, as one of Europe’s largest economies, offers a skilled workforce, strong infrastructure, and government-backed incentives for foreign investors. Yet success requires understanding local expectations, navigating bureaucracy, and building trust with partners. Through this session, attendees will gain a practical roadmap to internationalisation, supported by real-world lessons from the French market. Whether you’re taking your first global step or refining your expansion strategy, this session will equip you to scale with confidence.

Understanding Diplomatic Negotiations
“Recent discussions over Ukraine have bought into sharp focus the differences between diplomatic negotiation and the transactional deal-based approach favoured by President Trump. Although von Clausewitz may have been right to suggest that ‘war is a continuation of politics by other means”, that does not mean those most willing to coerce using military and economic power will necessarily win the day. Strength and weakness in negotiation are relative terms and can change as a negotiation proceeds. Negotiators’ personal skills can be highly relevant in diplomatic activity.”
