The world has seen massive change over the last five years. Climate change, geopolitical conflicts, a global pandemic and shifting alliances have all impacted supply chains in all aspects. Well into 2025, the industry has already faced a myriad of challenges that have significantly impacted supply chains and logistics.
In this episode of Beyond the Box, we explore how global supply chains are being reshaped in real time. With traditional trade routes under pressure from geopolitical tensions, sanctions, and shifting market dynamics, businesses are rethinking how and where they move goods.
Hosted by Nichole Allem and Philip Lewin, the episode features Erika Trujillo, co-founder and managing director of SEIA Compliance Technologies in Munich, Germany and Margaret A. Kidd, lecturer in supply chain and logistics technology at the University of Houston and president of the Houston Maritime Center and Museum in Texas, USA.
Together they explore:
- The long-term rewiring of global trade lanes
- The rise of nearshoring and regionalisation
- How compliance, export controls, and sanctions are reshaping logistics
- Opportunities and risks in emerging markets like India, the Middle East, and Latin America
- Why data transparency and digital tools are essential for supply chain resilience
Whether you're a supply chain leader, logistics professional, or simply curious about the future of global commerce, this episode delivers practical insights and a forward-looking perspective on navigating uncertainty with confidence.
