In an international context marked by geopolitical tensions, trade distortions and increasing market fragmentation, this round table addresses trade defence and access to new markets as complementary elements of a single strategy. The session combines the European strategic perspective, practical application at national level and business experience to provide companies with a comprehensive and operational understanding of the current trade environment. From defence instruments against unfair practices to the identification of real internationalisation opportunities, the discussion focuses on how to compete and grow in an increasingly complex global landscape.
