🌏 iit focussing international #GeoTechPolitics 🌏
Technology transcends borders – in more ways than one. It connects the world through the internet, accelerating global business, politics, and societal developments. At the same time, it physically moves across borders, with flows often originating from Southeast Asia and shaping economies across continents.
But technology doesn't just connect – it creates interdependencies between innovators, manufacturers and consumers. These can drive collaboration but also pose risks of exploitation. The global stage is constantly shifting as superpowers compete to assert technological supremacy, sustainability, and autonomy.
In accordance with the strategic importance of technology in shaping international relations, the Institut für Innovation und Technik (iit) just launched a working group on #GeoTechPolitics – featuring our colleagues Simone Ehrenberg-Silies, Oliver Ziegler, Dr. Stefan Wolf and Dr. Leona Faulstich, with more to follow. Congratulations!
This new initiative is dedicated to exploring the ways technology influences diplomacy, trade, and global power dynamics. With this step, the iit aims to help partners and clients navigate the complexities of international innovation landscapes, ensuring they remain competitive in a rapidly evolving world.
📖 We're starting off with the paper of our colleague Oliver Ziegler on "Trump 2.0, Tech and the Transatlantic Tragedy" (German only for now): https://lnkd.in/ewZKjyKK
⚡️ Stay tuned for more of our GeoTechPolitics news and acitivities. Because technology is not just a tool – it’s a force that bridges and shapes the future of nations. 🌉
