SUMMARY:🔋⚡Boston Strategies at NEI’s Nuclear Energy Financing Summit — New York City
DESCRIPTION:Boston Strategies will be attending the Nuclear Energy Institute’s Nuclear Energy Financing Summit (NEI) in New York City on January 27\, 2026—a critical forum for accelerating investment in nuclear energy.  \nAs global electricity demand rises sharply—driven by the AI revolution\, electrification\, and clean energy targets—nuclear power is increasingly seen as an essential solution. Financing new nuclear projects\, however\, depends on solving one core issue: cost overruns\, which are often rooted in supply chain risk.  \n📉Cost overruns remain the main reason more new plants have not been built. In most cases\, these overruns are caused by supply chain volatility\, including long lead items\, constrained manufacturing capacity\, price escalation\, and procurement delays.  \nReducing supply chain risk is one of the most direct ways to make nuclear projects bankable.  \nBoston Strategies provides a structured and proven process\, supported by a specialized software tool\, to de-risk nuclear plant supply chains at the Bill-of-Materials (BoM) level\, enabling early intervention and capital protection.  \nOur approach helps stakeholders:  \n\nPredict supply price escalation throughout the Bill of Material \n\n\nAnticipate material\, component\, and service shortages \n\n\nQuantify capital at risk \n\n\nTake mitigation actions early to protect returns \n\nIf you would like to discuss nuclear financing\, supply chain resilience\, or localization strategies\, please reach out to schedule a meeting.

SUMMARY:Supply Chain Sustainability: What’s Holding Us Back? A Conversation with Anita Kelava\, Co-Founder of Voiz Academy
DESCRIPTION:The Managing Director of Boston Strategies International\, David Steven Jacoby recently participated in an in-depth discussion with Anita Kelava\, Co-founder of the Voiz Academy\, a leading platform for continuing education and certification programs focused on the application of emerging technologies to emissions reduction and climate adaptation. The discussion explored the supply chain technologies—and the supporting processes and behaviors—that can deliver the greatest impact on reducing greenhouse gas emissions. \nTechnologies Driving the Next Wave of Decarbonization\nDuring the discussion\, we examined several technologies that are already reshaping the sustainability landscape: \n\nAI for forecasting\, inventory optimization\, and energy management\nBattery management systems and next-generation storage advancements\nIn-building carbon capture\, such as Carbon Reform’s plug-and-play Capsule\nBlockchain for authenticating “green electrons” and “green hydrogen”\n\nThese tools are no longer futuristic concepts—they are practical enablers available today for organizations committed to reducing emissions. \nHard + Soft Tech: Building Circularity Across Industries\nA major theme of the conversation centered on how companies can combine: \n\nHard technologies (e.g.\, chemical recycling)\nSoft technologies (e.g.\, AI-driven optimization)\n\nto create circular economies in plastics\, rubber\, textiles\, and consumer goods. Much of the opportunity lies not in new inventions but in leadership\, process redesign\, and ecosystems thinking. \nOperational Quick Wins That Require No New Technology\nSeveral process-based levers can deliver substantial carbon and cost reductions immediately: \n\nContracting for green power through green PPAs\nOptimizing logistics networks to reduce both emissions and cost\nHybrid EV adoption supported by tax incentives\nEmbedding carbon education and reduction commitments into Tier-level supplier contracts\nDesigning low-carbon products and services using the Revchain™ methodology\n\nThese steps highlight that progress is less constrained by technology and more by alignment\, incentives\, and execution. \nWhere Young Professionals Can Drive Transformation\nEmerging leaders entering the workforce today have unprecedented opportunities to make an impact. High-leverage areas include: \n\nNet-zero product design\nAI for supply chain visibility and decarbonization\nCarbon accounting platforms\nSupplier engagement and sourcing strategy\nCorporate sustainability messaging and internal alignment\nPolicy\, diplomacy\, and sustainability-focused negotiation\n\nTheir enthusiasm and fluency with digital tools position them to accelerate adoption and cultural change. \nWe extend our appreciation to Anita Kelava for hosting a dynamic and thought-provoking conversation that clarified both the challenges and the near-term breakthroughs within reach for global supply chains. \nTo dive deeper into the frameworks discussed—including the Revchain™ Decarbonization System—you can explore David Steven Jacoby’s book Getting to Net Zero: https://a.co/d/4maXJnS

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: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.
