Exiger CEO Speaks on AI-Led Transformation of Global Power at Semafor World Economy Annual Convening 2026

Brandon Daniels Will Discuss Unlocking the Next Era of Growth Today at The Conrad Hotel in Washington, DC

WASHINGTON, DC. APRIL 14, 2026 – Brandon Daniels, CEO of Exiger, the market-leading supply chain AI company and largest provider of supply chain technology to the U.S. Government, will today appear at the Semafor World Economy Annual Convening 2026. Speaking in The Next Era of Global Growth session at 10:00 AM, Daniels will discuss how AI is resetting global power competition and Exiger’s role in leading the transformation of global supply chains to prepare for an agentic future.

“AI is going to change the capacity of every single nation and company to grow, and the countries and companies that harness that capability to the fullest are going to be the superpowers of tomorrow,” said Daniels. “What once took thousands of engineers and thousands of manufacturing hands can now be accomplished with dozens of creative technologists, domain experts, and proprietary data. This agentic future will transform the way people work, plan, battle, and innovate. We’re already seeing this future take shape – on the autonomous battlefields in Iran and hyper-agile manufacturing floors of companies like Divergent and Hadrian – and Exiger is poised to lead the transformation of physical, brittle supply chains to support this innovative future.”

"AI is going to change the capacity of every single nation and company to grow, and the countries and companies that harness that capability to the fullest are going to be the superpowers of tomorrow. This agentic future will transform the way people work, plan, battle, and innovate."
