About the Event

Global trade has entered a new era, and the winners won’t be the companies that dodge tariffs. They’ll be the ones that turn tariff chaos into competitive advantage.

Join Mo Afshar (CEO, Pipe17) and Jack Chang (CEO, Cubeship) for a 60-minute fireside chat where they’ll share first-hand insights from Jack’s research across 47 factories in China and Southeast Asia. Together, they’ll reveal why “China Plus One” is breaking down, why some brands are even moving back to China, and how new power corridors like Singapore-to-Mexico are reshaping manufacturing strategy.

This isn’t about playing defense. It’s about building agile supply chains that thrive in disruption and preparing for the 2026 inflection point, when automation, new trade rules, and capital-driven supply chain strategies collide.
