The Geopolitical Pivot:
Turning Trade Volatility into Regional Advantage

Geopolitical volatility has entered a new phase. Throughout 2025, corporate strategy was dominated by defensive risk mitigation, reacting to supplier disruptions, and absorbing sudden tariff shocks. However, current trends show a widening performance gap between companies stuck in this defensive stance and those adapting quickly to fragmented regional markets.


Examine how corporate leaders can transition from defensive positioning to active growth strategies.

This webinar, hosted by FT Professional and FT Board Director Programme, will examine how corporate leaders can transition from defensive positioning to active growth strategies. Our expert panel will explore how to leverage policy interventions, optimise regional capital deployment, and build an agile geostrategic architecture at the board level.

Key topics covered:

  • Industrial policy: How can firms turn policy shifts into competitive advantage?
  • Capital allocation: Where should businesses invest to capture growth across APAC?
  • Trade fragmentation: How can supply chain diversification improve speed-to-market?
  • Operational agility: How can multinationals remain agile across fragmented markets?
  • Geopolitical foresight: How can boards integrate geopolitical risk into strategic decision-making?
