Technology & Innovation
A transatlantic tech partnership might be the best approach to build European tech independence.
Technology is now central to geopolitics. Leadership in artificial intelligence, semiconductors, quantum computing, and cyber capabilities increasingly determines economic strength and military advantage, and democracies face a sharpening contest with authoritarian rivals over the rules and infrastructure of the digital age. This hub is the gateway to analysis across the technology and innovation agenda: the transatlantic effort to compete in emerging technology, secure supply chains, govern data and platforms, and defend cyberspace. Fellows and analysts, including specialists in the defense-technology field, examine how the United States and Europe can align on standards, protect critical capabilities, and translate innovation into security. Explore expert analysis and commentary spanning artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, semiconductors, and the technology competition shaping the balance of power.
