Who Shapes Tomorrow's Technology?
Technological leadership is increasingly central to economic competitiveness, national security, & global governance. China's rapid development of innovation ecosystems-combined with intensifying U.S.-China competition in artificial intelligence & strategic technologies-has created profound challenges for policymakers around regulation, industrial policy, supply chains, & international cooperation.
Dr. Zongyuan "Zoe" Liu will host Dr. Clas Neumann, Senior Vice President & Head of Global SAP Labs Network, & Amy Ho, executive director at J.P. Morgan, for an in-depth business & policy discussion on how China's innovation model operates, what is driving the U.S.-China AI rivalry, & how emerging technologies are reshaping the global technology order. Drawing on industry experience & cross-sector insight, Dr. Neumann will examine the policy trade-offs facing governments & multinationals as they navigate innovation promotion, technological sovereignty, & geopolitical risk.
Key topics include:
State-market dynamics in China's innovation ecosystem
Industrial policy & strategic technology competition
AI governance, standards-setting, & regulatory divergence
Implications for global economic governance & security policy
And more
This event is co-sponsored by The Institute of Global Politics (IGP) at Columbia University's School of International & Public Affairs (SIPA), the Columbia-Harvard China & the World Program, & the Weatherhead East Asian Institute. It is designed for students & professionals interested in international affairs, finance, technology policy, national security, & economic development.
