Local Partnerships: Collaborating with local firms can help navigate the political landscape and reduce exposure to risk. Lobbying and Advocacy: Engaging with policymakers and participating in lobbying efforts can help influence favorable regulations and policies. Risk Assessment: Regularly assessing the political climate and potential risks can help businesses prepare and respond effectively.
