Presenting U.S. Supply Chain Resilience at Georgetown University

Oct 25, 2024

Washington CORE recently presented its latest research on U.S. strategies for global supply chain resilience to Georgetown University’s Bioengineering Science and Technology Graduate Program. The presentation highlighted how geopolitical tensions, national security concerns, and economic policies are driving the U.S. to reduce its reliance on Chinese supply chains and strengthen its partnerships with trusted global allies.

The discussion covered key sectors—telecommunications, semiconductor manufacturing, transportation infrastructure, biotech, and agriculture—where strategic initiatives such as the CHIPS Act and Biosecure Act are reshaping the landscape. It also explored the challenges of decoupling, including rising costs and supply chain disruptions, and emphasized the role of allied nations like Japan and South Korea in diversifying US firms’ supply chains and advancing high-tech innovation.

By sharing these insights with the next generation of experts and industry leaders, Washington CORE hopes to equip them with the knowledge needed to understand and navigate complex geopolitical and economic shifts at the intersection of policy, technology, and global trade.
