Hello, and welcome, everyone, to Onyx Webinar today. My name is Suryo Nugroho, and I'm a Senior Geopolitical Analyst here at Onyx.

So we offer a different webinar topic each month. And for today's webinar, we will unpack how the EU is navigating a convergence of geopolitical pressures ranging from escalating, Russia-Ukraine and Iran conflicts to rising tensions with China and policy volatility in the U.S. And also what this means for Europe's rapidly deteriorating operating environment.

Before we begin with the content there are a few administrative details to cover. So we will have about 30 minutes of content to share, and we will save the last 15 minutes for the Q&A session. You can submit your questions in the Q&A box, and we will do our best to address your questions during the Q&A session. A copy of the presentation will be available later. So to receive a copy of the presentation, please fill out the brief survey that will be e-mailed to you shortly after this webinar. Please also visit our website and subscribe to receive information on Onyx future webinars.
