Imagine the world's trade routes as a giant web of connecting dots. Recent events like the pandemic and new tech have snapped some of these threads and moved others. This work maps out where those new connections are forming so businesses can avoid getting caught in the wrong place.
Companies struggle to predict how geopolitical shifts and pandemics disrupt their supply chains. This leads to instability in production and unforeseen labor costs.
A set of 14 deliverables, including research reports on employment, environment, and competitiveness, and a policy roundtable.
If you are a medical supply manufacturer dealing with unstable raw material sources — this project developed research on strategic health sectors that helps secure the supply of critical goods.
If you are a hardware producer dealing with geopolitical trade wars — this project developed future foresights on how trade impacts economic performance to help you relocate production networks.
If you are a global shipping firm dealing with changing production patterns — this project developed analysis on the geographical reorganization of value chains to optimize route planning.
Based on available project data, no pricing or cost structures are provided as the project focuses on research and policy recommendations.
Based on available project data, the output consists of research reports and policy scenarios rather than a scalable industrial tool.
Based on available project data, research outcomes are made publicly available on the project website, suggesting an open-access approach rather than a licensing model.
The project analyzes trade, investment, competition, and social policies to help Europe secure decent work and resource-efficiency.
The project runs from 2022-10-01 to 2025-09-30, with several research reports already completed in the second reporting period.
The consortium is heavily academic, consisting of 8 universities and 2 research organizations, with only 1 industry partner. This 9% industry ratio indicates the project is primarily focused on theoretical and policy-driven insights rather than immediate commercial product development.
