At a time when SMEs are increasingly exposed to geopolitical volatility, regulatory change, sanctions risk, and supply-chain disruption, the ability to manage cross-border operations with legal, commercial, and strategic discipline has become essential. In that context, HCLA is pleased to announce a high-level hybrid webinar on 29 April 2026 entitled:
Resilient SMEs in Times of Global Crisis: Legal, Business and Diplomatic Strategies for Cross-Border Operations
As part of the Think Global, Go Global (TGG) programme, the event is organised by HCLA and BE-NEXEL, in collaboration with the Brussels Diplomatic Academy of Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) and Knowleds. The webinar will bring together experts from law, business, and risk management to examine how SMEs can respond to practical cross-border challenges in an increasingly uncertain global environment. The published event notice presents the session as a practice-oriented discussion addressing sanctions, regulatory complexity, geopolitical risk, and operational continuity.
The event will take place in hybrid format, with limited in-person participation at the HCLA office in The Hague and online participation available through registration. Free registration is now open through the published event announcement on the BE-NEXEL website.
This webinar also serves as an important step in promoting future joint educational activities in the fields of law, business, and diplomacy under the TGG programme.
