SUMMARY:🔋⚡Boston Strategies International at the International Battery Seminar & Exhibit 2026 
DESCRIPTION:Boston Strategies International is pleased to announce that our President\, David Steven Jacoby will be speaking at the International Battery Seminar & Exhibit 2026—the world’s longest-running annual battery industry event (founded in 1983) and a premier global forum for major developments in energy storage technology across consumer\, automotive\, military\, grid\, and industrial applications.  \n🔗 Event website: https://www.internationalbatteryseminar.com/  \n🎤Featured Session Topic: Predictive Analytics and AI in Inventory Optimization\, Demand Planning & Forecasting  \nAs the battery industry scales globally\, competitive advantage increasingly depends not only on chemistry and performance—but on the ability to execute complex supply chains reliably under volatility. Battery value chains face long lead times\, capacity constraints\, high working capital intensity\, and high penalties for stockouts\, delays\, and quality disruptions.  \nThis faculty session focuses on how organizations can apply predictive analytics and AI to strengthen decision-making across demand sensing\, forecasting\, inventory\, supplier risk\, and operational planning.  \n📌Key topics include:  \n\nAI-driven forecasting methods\, including time-series approaches (e.g.\, modern neural network approaches such as LSTM) \n\n\nPredictive inventory optimization: safety stock\, reorder points\, and multi-echelon strategies \n\n\nContinuous sensing & response systems to reduce the bullwhip effect \n\n\nEarly risk detection models to predict shortages and disruption \n\n\nPractical implementation roadmaps: digital architecture\, governance\, and adoption hurdles \n\nThe course draws on real-world use cases and case studies across leading organizations and supply chain innovators.  \nIf you are attending the International Battery Seminar & Exhibit 2026 and would like to connect with David Steven Jacoby or the Boston Strategies team\, please feel to reach out anytime.

SUMMARY:Boston Strategies at the 2026 NAPE Expo LP Summit (Houston) 
DESCRIPTION:⛽⚡⛏️Oil\, gas\, power and minerals are essential parts of nearly every supply chain\, whether the end product is a good\, a service\, or a solution.  \nWe at Boston Strategies always look forward to developing supply chain strategies that can boost the viability and profitability of oil & gas\, critical minerals\, geothermal\, data center\, and renewable energy deals at the 2026 NAPE Expo LP Summit in Houston.  \nBoston Strategies will be there advising asset owners\, investors and attorneys about:  \n🔶How alternative supply chains configurations can jack project returns \n🔶How to structure equipment and service supply contracts to minimize liability \n🔶Where exposure to supply chain risk is eroding returns on existing projects and how to reduce it \nAt Boston Strategies International\, we turn operations and supply chains into a recurring stream of positive cash flow. If you’re attending NAPE Expo LP Summit or have these concerns\, feel free to reach out.  \nPhoto Credit:: Ricardo Góm

SUMMARY:The ASCM Podcast: Tariffs\, Inflation & Supply Chain Turbulence — Now on YouTube
DESCRIPTION:Recently\, the Association for Supply Chain Management (ASCM) released the YouTube edition of one of its highly watched episode of The Chain Podcast\, featuring a deep-dive conversation between Abe Eshkenazi\, President & CEO of ASCM\, and David Steven Jacoby\, President of Boston Strategies International. \nThe discussion unpacked the complex forces reshaping global supply chains—from tariffs and trade wars to ESG rollbacks\, AI\, and the shifting economics of critical materials. The video expands on topics that continue to dominate boardrooms and policy circles as companies confront unprecedented volatility. \nBoston Strategies International’s President\, David Steven Jacoby\, brought insights from decades of advising governments\, Fortune 500 manufacturers\, and energy & infrastructure players across the U.S.\, Europe\, Latin America\, and Asia. Drawing on his recent advisory work\, research\, and book Trump\, Trade\, and the End of Globalization\, David provided strategic context behind today’s policy decisions\, negotiations\, and industrial realignments. \nThe episode covers: \n\nWhy critical minerals\, semiconductors\, and EV batteries—not steel—anchor current U.S. trade discussions\n\nHow tariffs and inflation are driving a “free-for-all” pricing environment\, and why companies claiming they’ll absorb costs are “lying”\n\nThe rise and fall of ESG—and why global supply chains are shifting from “Decarbonizing” to “Recarbonizing”\n\nWhy AI-enabled tools will be essential for scalable Scope 3 reporting\, especially for small and mid-sized suppliers\n\nHow agility and resilience now drive measurable shareholder value: as David notes\, “Agility is like speaking multiple languages—hard to master\, but essential to survive today’s volatility.”\n\nThe conversation also spotlights a Resilience Checklist that David previously developed for the National Association of Corporate Directors—available to any organization working on supply chain security and risk management.\n\nThe full video is now available on YouTube and provides a comprehensive\, accessible breakdown of the economic\, geopolitical\, and technological forces shaping 2025–2030 global supply chains.  \nWatch the full episode here:\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIS8O3AKD-I \nBoston Strategies International is proud to collaborate with ASCM in delivering thought leadership aimed at strengthening global supply chain strategy\, resilience\, and competitiveness.

SUMMARY:EcoVenture Challenge Competition
DESCRIPTION:David Steven Jacoby\, Chairman of Boston Strategies International\, had the distinct honor of co-judging the 2025 EcoVenture Challenge of the University of Pennsylvania. \nThe UPenn Ecoventure Challenge is an annual international climate startup competition. It is unlike any other competition—it is a collaborative business pitch with feedback from professional judges and industry experts. As the premier international climate startup challenge\, this initiative empowers high school\, undergraduate\, and master’s students to transform groundbreaking ideas into tangible solutions for the world’s most urgent environmental crises. \nEach year\, teams of 1-5 work together to create a business climate pitch. Whether that looks like proposing next-generation green technologies\, policy-driven initiatives\, or community-driven programs\, participants innovate and drive forward what’s possible. While physical products are encouraged\, projects can take the form of digital platforms/software\, advocacy campaigns\, or community service organizing—all with the goal of tackling today’s climate crisis. \nThrough this rigorous\, high-impact competition\, teams receive expert mentorship\, refine their pitches\, and present their solutions in front of environmental professors\, industry partners\, and climate experts. Whether you’re expanding upon a previous startup or coming up with a new idea\, participants gain invaluable experience in the art of business pitching\, problem-solving\, and execution. \nThe challenge is more than a chance to win a cash prize—it is an opportunity to hone your skills and gain real-world experience. If you are ready to drive real change and are interested in environmental business\, the EcoVenture Challenge is your platform to make an impact.

SUMMARY:WQHS Radio Interview on Reinventing the Energy Value Chain
DESCRIPTION:Harsha Ravindran from the University of Pennsylvania’s WQHS Student Radio show Changing Reality interviews David Steven Jacoby on his book Reinventing the Energy Value Chain\, why the success of the energy transition depends on strategic supply chain management\, and where investors can earn the greatest return on capital employed. Dr. Waddah S. Ghanem Al Hashmi\, PhD\, Senior Director\, Emirates National Oil Company (ENOC) further defines the stakeholders of the energy transition: “Academics\, energy policy makers\, energy economists\, and investment advisors\, as well as the current and future executives of the energy industry could make good use of this book. I see it also as a sound reference for the energy researchers in universities as well as energy and sustainability research institutes [and] for those working in the supply and demand spaces and in every part of supply chain including producers\, suppliers and distributors of energy.” All of us are relying on bold and forward-thinking supply chain management to reach net zero emissions. Let’s get it right.
