More about the presentation:

“Large companies generally have great processes to decide on where in the world to locate their manufacturing facilities. Multinational companies in particular face many challenges related to supply chains, labour, and political change. In our region, 2025 promises to be an exciting year with a new President taking office in the US and very likely soon a new Prime Minister in Canada. The rhetoric around tariffs in North America, Asia and even talk of taking over Canada, gives pause for any business leader trying to plan for the future. What can and should the region focus on? Puttagunta intends to discuss how we can control our own destiny by focusing on the few things we can actually control." Prasad Puttagunta
