Among the countless disruptions brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain risks can be daunting to assess and seem out of your startups’ control. It is increasingly important to develop an understanding of current trends in the supply chain, what is predicted to come, and how your startup can best plan for the future.

Please join FORGE on Thursday, August 20 from 10 am – 11 am as we welcome Tom Andrellos of the Massachusetts Manufacturing Extension Partnership to discuss strategy, analytics, risk management, and opportunities to prepare for the ripple effects of COVID-19 on your supply chain.

Tom Andrellos is the Director of Growth Services for MassMEP. He has over 32 years in senior-level positions with High Tech manufacturing, global supply chain, and business operations. Tom has successfully developed business plans, specific program strategies, and operating approaches that deploy grant funding across Massachusetts.

Previous FORGE events in our “Supply Chain in a Pandemic” series have focused on sharing experiences and lessons learned with startup peers and actionable frameworks that your team can leverage to assess and mitigate risk in your supply chain. This event will focus on providing the context of what is happening at the manufacturing level, and what may come in the coming months and years so that you can best plan ahead and position your startup for continued growth and success.

This one-hour, interactive session is open to any and all startups with physical products or components and will be moderated by Anya Losik, Program Manager at FORGE.
