Over the past decade, global supply chains have faced significant challenges from pandemics, geo-political conflicts and tension, extreme weather, and natural disasters, highlighting the urgent need to reduce disruptions and strengthen long-term resilience. Given the increasingly globalized nature of the economy these risks will only continue to grow.

Private companies are assessing supply chains and risk exposure. Some have or are considering relocating production closer to home (nearshoring/reshoring) or to allied nations (friendshoring) and use new strategies and technologies – artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, improved cybersecurity tools – to boost resilience.

Certain supply chains are vital to economic and national security including rare earths and critical minerals, information communications technology (ICT) such as semiconductors, energy, transportation – particularly ports and logistics, aerospace, and shipbuilding, agriculture, and pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Governments are implementing coordinated measures to prevent shocks and strengthen supply chain resilience through the passage of new legislation and adopting or updating industrial policies and regulations. These initiatives include public private collaboration to promote investment in developing or modernizing domestic production capabilities, improving supply chain transparency and information sharing, upgrading infrastructure, supporting workforce development, and fostering collaboration with international partners.  

Neil Hill Global advises clients on supply chain policies – inbound and outbound investment opportunities, tariffs, as well as on regulations and rules that govern how goods are produced, transported, and delivered to ensure efficiency, predictability, security, ethical practices, and sustainability. We help clients anticipate and adapt to rapidly evolving supply chain policies so they can remain competitive in an increasingly complex global environment. Neil Hill Global advocates before Congress, federal, state, and local government agencies and develops legislative, regulatory, and political strategies to empower clients to achieve their goals and to benefit from evolving government policies on supply chain resilience.
