Global trade is undergoing a rapid evolution, influenced by a multitude of factors such as climate change, geopolitical events, conflict zones, wars, and more. Countries increasingly make trade decisions based on global politics rather than just economic benefits.

E2open Global Knowledge® is continually expanding and promptly adjusting to the significant rise in regulatory changes caused by such factors.
