22 Jul 2025

In an era of unprecedented geopolitical turbulence and evolving trade dynamics, manufacturers must pivot from reactive crisis management to proactive supply chain resilience. The traditional playbook no longer suffices - success demands sophisticated strategies that leverage cutting-edge technologies like AI-driven predictive analytics and supply chain digital twins whilst building adaptable networks that can weather global disruptions.

Join Shane Williams, technology strategist, fractional CIO, and host of the Manufacturing Tech Australia podcast, as he moderates a critical conversation featuring:

  • Lawrence Christoffelsz, CEO of Australian Trade & Logistics Corporation and founder of Import Export TV, bringing over two decades of expertise in international trade, digital transformation, and ethical supply chain practices;
  • Monique Donaldson, international growth specialist and founder of The Purposeful Exporter, advising businesses on export strategy, supply chain resilience and market expansion for advanced manufacturing and enabling technologies; and

Together, they'll unpack actionable strategies for identifying emerging markets, optimising operations through digital tools, and building supply chains that transform global uncertainties into competitive advantages.
