Introduction

Economic security has become a defining strategic priority for governments, sovereign institutions, and globally connected organisations. The growing use of industrial policy, investment controls, technology restrictions, strategic reserves, and supply chain resilience frameworks has transformed the relationship between economic policy and national strategy. Organisations operating across borders now face increasing exposure to geopolitical competition, strategic dependencies, and evolving regulatory frameworks that directly influence investment, trade, technology access, and operational continuity.

The Economic Security & Strategic Resilience training course provides senior executives and policymakers with a structured understanding of economic security as a strategic discipline. Participants explore how nations and institutions apply economic statecraft, strengthen sovereign capability, protect strategic sectors, and reduce vulnerabilities across critical supply chains and infrastructure systems.

Delivered through an evidence-based and analytically neutral approach, the training course enables participants to evaluate strategic exposure, design resilience frameworks, and integrate economic security considerations into corporate strategy, sovereign investment, and long-term institutional planning.

Key focus areas include:
