February 5 @ 4:30 pm - 6:00 pm

Event Description:

Technological leadership is increasingly central to economic competitiveness, national security, and global governance. China’s rapid development of innovation ecosystems—combined with intensifying U.S.–China competition in artificial intelligence and strategic technologies—has created profound challenges for policymakers around regulation, industrial policy, supply chains, and international cooperation.

Join Dr. Clas Neumann, global technology executive and innovation strategist, for an in-depth business and policy discussion on how China’s innovation model operates, what is driving the U.S.–China AI rivalry, and how emerging technologies are reshaping the global technology order. Drawing on industry experience and cross-sector insight, Dr. Neumann will examine the policy trade-offs facing governments as they navigate innovation promotion, technological sovereignty, and geopolitical risk.

Key topics include:

  • State–market dynamics in China’s innovation ecosystem
  • Industrial policy and strategic technology competition
  • AI governance, standards-setting, and regulatory divergence
  • Implications for global economic governance and security policy
  • And more…

This event is designed for students and professionals interested in international affairs, technology policy, national security, and economic development. It offers a timely opportunity to engage with one of the most consequential policy challenges shaping the future global order.
