It’s a complex time for hardware professionals. On one hand, there’s a renewed surge of interest in hardware and deep tech from investors and founders. On the other, global trade tensions and evolving tariff policies are making supply chains more unpredictable than ever. At this event, we’ll hear from industry leaders who are helping companies navigate these challenges and explore strategies you can apply to your own hardware business.
