America can’t afford a defense supply chain that moves too slowly. PA has the workers, manufacturers, and innovation to strengthen America’s military supply chain and outbuild our adversaries. That’s exactly why we’re bringing defense leaders together in Carlisle for the 2026 Defense & Innovation Summit. The future of American defense will be built here. realclearpennsylvania.com/articles/2026/…

Globalization has new owners. 🔥 One of the great geopolitical assumptions of the past three decades was that economic interdependence would make conflict less likely. What we are witnessing today is more nuanced. Interdependence has created prosperity, but it has also created leverage. 💪 As governments reassess economic security, strategic autonomy, and national resilience, "Value-Chain Statecraft" is emerging as one of the defining forces shaping the global economy. Across #semiconductors, #energy, #criticalminerals, #procurement, #logistics, #technology, and #data, nations are reevaluating where they are exposed, where they are dependent, and where they hold influence. The strategic design and control of value chains increasingly shapes economic resilience, industrial competitiveness, technological leadership, and geopolitical leverage. Access, alignment, trust, and resilience now carry strategic weight alongside cost and efficiency. This shift reflects a broader transition. For decades, multinational corporations were the primary architects of globalization. Today, states and alliances are playing a far more active role in shaping the movement of capital, technology, resources, talent, and infrastructure in the age of #ReGlobalization. The result is a global economy increasingly organized around strategic interests, industrial policy, and long-term national objectives. For business leaders, the challenge extends far beyond operational optimization. It requires understanding the #political, #regulatory, #technological, and #security dynamics embedded within the systems they depend on, source from, sell into, and help enable. There is a Turkish saying I grew up with: "Bugün ektiğini yarın biçersin, ama hangi toprağa ektiğini unutursan, hasada şaşırırsın." "What you sow today, you will reap tomorrow, but if you forget which soil you planted in, you should not be surprised by the harvest." In an era defined by Value-Chain Statecraft, success depends not only on the seeds we plant such as capital, technology, partnerships, and contracts, but also on understanding the soil: the alliances, institutions, histories, and strategic interests that ultimately determine what grows. My latest #Forbes article explores how #ValueChainStatecraft is reshaping the global order and why corporate strategy is becoming inseparable from national security. @ODI_Global | @GLOBSEC | @ExigerLLC | @Forbes | @ForbesTechCncl | KŌSE ADVISORY Read the full article here: forbes.com/councils/forbe… #ValueChainStatecraft #Geopolitics #SupplyChain #NationalSecurity #EconomicSecurity #IndustrialPolicy #GlobalTrade #CriticalMinerals #Semiconductors #Resilience

That’s a wrap on @reindsummit 3.0 in Detroit!  Incredible to see the vision of NAIA Co-Founders @aphysicist and @austinbishop make this THE event for American industrial innovation and execution. Dozens of brilliant discussions on stage, in our room, in the hallways, and at the happy hours. NAIA CEO Julius Krein hosted OSC Director David Lorch for a fireside chat on defense supply chains as well as a critical minerals supply-chain panel with @ExigerLLC. We loved seeing so many NAIA members and hearing how we further help them achieve their goals. We may have left the Motor City, but our engines are revved to reindustrialize!

Ever more focus on Resilient supply chains

Comptroller Marc Andersen, in a fireside chat with @ExigerLLC CEO BrandonDaniels, laid out how the service is turning land it owns into compute it needs.

🚨 New Army financial strategy: Comptroller @theandersenmarc says the service is letting firms like CyrusOne, @OneCarlyle build data centers on Army-owned land via enhanced-use leases — and getting compute in return. Next focus: mineral mining & processing. #POCArmy2026

Kit Conklin, Chief Strategy & Global Affairs Officer at Exiger, joined @CNBCMorningCall with @MorganLBrennan to discuss how easing Middle East tensions could shift the G7's focus toward China, critical minerals and building more resilient global supply chains. $XLI $COPX $FCX $RIO $BHP cnbc.com/video/2026/06/…

What is the single greatest obstacle to revitalizing America's Maritime Industrial Base? Supply Chains. Frank Finelli, former A&D lead at The Carlyle Group, gives a masterclass on Supply Chains, highlighting two critical shortfalls: > Lack of vibrant mid-tier suppliers in America > Supply chain risk due to a "Diamond-shaped" supplier base, compounded by China "weaponizing the Periodic Table" If you care about shipbuilding, listen in.
