This is a really good article from the Association for Corporate Growth (ACG)... The best part about supply chain is the constant innovation needed to support customers, companies, and communities. There is endless opportunity when there is fragility, friction, waste, and risk. 😎 CORE Industrial Partners, HKW, One Equity Partners, Creo Advisors LLC, Efficio, MiddleGround Capital #supplychain #logistics #venturecapital #startups https://lnkd.in/gaa6GUqa

Looking forward to seeing the latest (tech) and greatest (people) at IMTS - International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. American manufacturing continues to surge despite economic obstacles and global instability, which inspires my confidence in the sector positively exploding when those headwinds are reversed and become tailwinds. I can't wait to reconnect with both longtime and new friends and acquaintances, discover wonderful manufacturing innovations, and meet the companies and people behind them. #Americanmanufacturing #manufacturing #IMTS2024 #technology #techtradeshow #manufacturingtradeshow #robotics #automation #data #digitaltransformation #industry40 #investinginmanufacturing #madeinusa #madeinamerica

I will be the moderator for this panel on April 22 about the decarbonization of cross-border supply chains. The panel features a great combination of Asian investor Lawrence Yen, and entrepreneurs/ practitioners from the industry Jian Zhang, CEO of CFEX, Inc., and Kevin Ku, a Product Engineer from Watershed. The panel aims to examine the dynamics from upstream to downstream of the ever-changing supply chain and how tech companies should respond, not just to follow compliance regulations but also to explore new procurement, investment, and product design opportunities, especially after the passing of Climate Disclosure Rule by U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on  March 6, 2024. I cannot find a better combination of panel speakers on this topic. I'm very grateful to them being willing to share their first-hand observations during #sfclimateweek. Special thanks Yohanna Maldonado for connecting the speaker, and Maggie Li Michelle Cheng for organizing the event. Lastly, I am happy to share the promo code with my network. Please don't hesitate to ask for it if you would like to join. #SFCW #DECARBONIZATION #SUPPLYCHAIN #CROSSBORDER

The UBS 2024 Global Family Office Report covers the key trends emerging in alternative investments with the aligned patience around long term trends. They are making big, long-term investments in things that are getting proportionately fewer headlines - the areas they planned to invest in over the coming three years include #AI (78%), #healthtech (70%), and #robotics (67%). In other sectors ( such as #Web3), 39% responded they are likely to rely on other active managers to specialize coverage. Other themes: Material shifts in asset allocation as portfolio balance returns Climate change and debt crisis emerge as medium-term risks Geographical asset allocations set to remain tilted towards North America Confidence increases in active management With sustainability in focus, family offices seek information and advice Family offices focus on being investment specialists first and foremost
