Coronavirus Update
China is the main supplier to the global market, and the coronavirus outbreak has put a severe strain on the global supply chain. Based on conversations with family and friends in China, it appears as if the Coronavirus outbreak has stabilized, and many people are back to work in China, especially in the Greater Shanghai area. However, Wuhan remains under high security. Major Coronavirus outbreaks are now occurring in Korea, Japan, and Italy.
Although the virus seems to be under control in China, many workers cannot go back to work because factories lack breathing masks for workers, so production will still be hampered for the near future.
That means that supply chains will continue to be impacted. If your supply chain is under stress, we can help you find alternative suppliers in other regions.
To build an alternative supply chain and get your business moving again, please contact [email protected]. Our global network will help you rebalance your supply chain quickly and also let you diversify it so that you are not subject to the high risk of a single source.
Many global conferences have been canceled or postponed or are short of speakers. We are happy to help with your speaking engagements related to subjects of renewables, globalization, international capital, oil/gas, China / Asia market access as long as the engagement is within the U.S. until the end of March, or in Europe during April.
