Whatever it Takes: Securing North America’s Economic Future

Hosted by the Center for Strategic and International Studies

Prosperity and security are no longer separate policy agendas. Economic resilience is now a strategic objective as governments and businesses rethink how to protect critical industries, secure access to advanced technologies, and strengthen supply chains. For North America, this transformation presents an opportunity to deepen regional integration and reinforce its position in an increasingly competitive global economy.

This panel will explore how Mexico, the United States, and Canada can advance a shared agenda for economic security through stronger supply chains, closer trade and investment ties, and the development of critical industries. The discussion will examine how North America can strengthen its resilience and technological leadership in an environment increasingly shaped by strategic competition and the growing influence of external powers.
