About this Webinar
This webinar focuses on the ongoing battle for technological supremacy waged between the US and China to lead the world in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. It will also cover the foundational technologies that will need to be advanced, converged, and widely deployed over the decade and the competitive position of both the US and China in these technologies. The webinar will further assess the impact of a Beijing-centered global economic security zone dependent on Chinese technology and largely independent of the West.
The four key questions that will be discussed are:
1. What are the key tech, macro and regulatory trends in both the US and China?
2. Which industries are exposed to geopolitical risk and which remain safe bets?
2. How does China compare to the US in the 14 'Industries of the Future'?
3. What is the future for the US and China's established companies of today and its disruptive start-ups of tomorrow?
