The ongoing conflict in the Middle East has exposed how geopolitical instability can create long-term, systemic disruptions in construction supply chains. European and global contractors are facing delayed deliveries, soaring material and freight costs, energy shortages and increased insurance premiums — challenges that are likely to persist long after immediate hostilities subside. This presentation will explore practical strategies for managing these evolving supply chain risks. The session will address how to build resilience through diversified sourcing, strategic inventory management, alternative logistics routes, contractual risk allocation, and close collaboration with suppliers, brokers and insurers. The panel will also examine how contractors can anticipate disruptions, mitigate financial and operational impacts, and protect project schedules and revenues in an environment where geopolitical shocks can have lasting effects.
