Is your business part of a critical supply chain? Are you a stakeholder within a critical value chain ecosystem?
The recent global pandemic has fast-forwarded change, which has opened considerable opportunities for businesses to make a profit; at the same time, the potential for crisis has also increased. The reality is that the evolving threat matrix of the digital economy is the convergence of many factors.
The factors include cyber security, data management, weaponised information in the media, external attacks on supply chains, and rapid political and policy changes. The current Ukraine-Russia conflict has highlighted the interconnectedness of global businesses and how easy it is to disrupt business as usual.
The threat matrix has evolved. The frontline is at the confluence of information warfare, corporate espionage, cyberspace incursions, weather and climate change, social media, algorithms, big data, and geopolitical instability, just to name a few. Business leaders within complex global supply chains need to be aware of these threats and if they wish to survive, must be prepared to manage these challenges.

To address the paradigm shift seen in the business ecosystem to bring all stakeholders together to design a sustainable future for the people, planet and profit post-COVID-19.
- To address security concerns in critical value chains to ensure that the objectives of the Malaysian government including the delivery of various master plans and the Malaysia Plans (RMK) are met.
- The Malaysian corporate sector has access to key decision-makers and continues to receive up-to-date information from government stakeholders and foreign investors.
- To promote Malaysia as an investment destination for those in the digital and physical economy, which will further expand the trade and business opportunities emanating from Malaysia.

Critical questions we will confront during the discussion that will enable better-informed decisions are:
- How to cascade effective strategy and policy into actionable projects within a critical value chain.
- The interconnectedness of strategy and policy, and how to tackle the gaps in organisational frameworks that could lead to a crisis.
- How to recover from a crisis that impacts physical and digital infrastructure that then plays out in the media and social media.
- Addressing the opportunity cost of inaction or lack of investment into physical and digital infrastructure.
- Addressing the vulnerability of critical physical and digital infrastructure, especially in a post-COVID-19 era.
Join us in this exclusive roundtable as we discuss ways to address security concerns in critical value chains and how business leaders can mitigate the threats that could lead to a crisis.

The complex relationships between corporations, governments, non-government organisations, academia and the media have fundamentally changed the face of global supply chains. Critical value chains are extremely susceptible to disruption and as such the creation of sustainable and thriving economies, improving gaps between stakeholders, and staying close to the social development agenda have become the new face of business. The question remains: how will all stakeholders in this equation work together for a profitable and sustainable future? Speakers:
