This episode of the Technology Risk Podcast we examine the significant consequences of newly implemented U.S. tariffs in April 2025, including a universal 10% import tax and a 145% levy on Chinese goods, excluding some tech products. We analyze the immediate and long-term disruptions to technology companies, focusing on supply chain issues, increased operational costs, risks to innovation budgets, and shifting global trade dynamics. We provide strategic insights for businesses to adapt, such as diversifying supply chains, strengthening local sourcing, and maintaining flexible pricing. Our discussion also includes real-world examples illustrating both successful and unsuccessful responses to these tariff pressures and concludes with a future outlook emphasizing economic nationalism and the need for business agility.
