Materials that Matter: Battle for Securing Critical Supply Chains | Rajeev Chandrasekhar

Materials that Matter: Battle for Securing Critical Supply Chains | Raisina Dialogue 2023

Trade, technology, and supply chains have become integral to the security agenda. Critical supply chains, including those of minerals that will define the future, need to be secured. Technology and inputs critical to digital transformation and sustainable modernisation may lead to a new “arms race” .

How will geopolitics driven by new-era tech be different from the previous century? How will countries and blocs navigate the emerging chips war between the US and China? What role will new-age trade agreements play? Do state-controlled economies have an advantage over democratic, market-led economies in such extractive industries, and how can countries compensate for this edge through diversifying and decentralising supply dependencies?
