Economic Security & Strategic Resilience

Economic security refers to the ability of nations and organisations to safeguard critical capabilities, maintain resilience, and reduce vulnerabilities that could affect economic stability and strategic objectives. Growing geopolitical competition, supply chain concentration, technology restrictions, and investment controls have elevated economic security from a policy concern to a boardroom and executive priority.

The training explores practical frameworks for identifying vulnerabilities, assessing strategic dependencies, strengthening resilience capabilities, and improving preparedness for economic shocks. Participants learn how resilience planning can support continuity, competitiveness, and long-term organisational performance.

Economic statecraft refers to the use of economic tools such as sanctions, export controls, industrial policy, investment screening, and procurement strategies to achieve national objectives. The course examines how these instruments influence trade, investment, technology access, supply chains, and organisational decision-making.

Participants learn approaches for mapping dependencies, identifying concentration risks, evaluating critical chokepoints, and assessing strategic vulnerabilities across sectors such as energy, technology, food, pharmaceuticals, and critical minerals. The course also explores diversification and resilience-building strategies.

A dedicated section examines technology controls, digital sovereignty, research security, data governance, and cross-border data flow restrictions. Participants gain an understanding of how technology-related risks increasingly influence economic security strategies and organisational resilience planning.

This course is particularly valuable for government leaders, sovereign wealth fund executives, policy advisors, regulators, investment professionals, strategy directors, resilience leaders, corporate development executives, and board members responsible for long-term planning. It is especially relevant for organisations operating in strategically important sectors exposed to geopolitical, technological, and economic risks.
