Full Overview
International businesses are adapting to geopolitical shifts, the rapid growth of eCommerce and the fallout from the Covid-19 pandemic, which are in turn impacting on global trade patterns. Manufacturing and production firms are under pressure to make location decisions that enable them to maintain competitive and sustainable supply chains, reduce time to market, increase manufacturing productivity and adopt lean production techniques, while continuing to optimise operation and distribution costs, and recruit available and skilled workforces.
The Financial Times and Tanger Med present ‘A new era in international trade: Creating opportunities in the manufacturing sector’. In this, the third in a series of online briefing events, we examined how the manufacturing sector is making strategic location decisions. We also considered the challenges and opportunities for firms operating in the global manufacturing industry, and examined how globalisation and sustainability are affecting their business development plans.
Find out how major firms in the manufacturing and production sectors are making their location decisions as we enter a new era for trade. Hear the latest insider information from firms located in Tanger Med, and discover how they’ve shown resilience and generated growth during the Covid-19 crisis. Learn from business leaders and trade experts how the manufacturing and production sector is building back and expanding after Covid.
