Subsea workshop | Recovering with resiliency: Learnings from the past 18 months

In 2024, multiple submarine cuts led to significant disruption across multiple countries and sent the industry spiralling. Since then, further cable cuts, new threats, geopolitical tensions and an overwhelmed supply chain has put pressure on the resiliency and sustainability of the sector. This 90-minute workshop gathers leading voices and industry experts to discuss the next steps in shoring up resiliency and redundancy, planning the next wave of subsea cable expansion and assessing subsea supply chain resiliency.
