Tech Titans: US vs. China - The Future of Global Innovation

Podcast: IAF Continued Conversations

In today’s episode of IAF Continues Conversations, our hosts Arpita Nepal and Rainer Heufers guide us through the fierce tech rivalry between the United States and China, exploring how this competition is shaping the future of global innovation. Joining them are Alexander Brown, Senior Analyst at MERICS, and Harold Furchtgott-Roth, Senior Fellow at the Hudson Institute, who bring insider perspectives on the policies, markets, and diverging paths of these tech superpowers.

From China’s ambitious "whole-of-nation" approach to the United States' landmark CHIPS Act, the episode unpacks the policy tools each nation wields to boost its competitive edge. Are local governments and national mandates effectively steering innovation, or do political tensions risk stifling progress? Arpita and Rainer dive deep with their guests into strategic sectors like MedTech and semiconductors, exploring the role of government intervention, market forces, and the broader global impact on regions from Europe to Southeast Asia.

Tune in as Arpita and Rainer navigate this complex landscape through a liberal lens, questioning whether open markets or national interests will ultimately drive the tech breakthroughs of tomorrow. Don’t miss this thought-provoking episode examining what lies ahead in a world where tech, policy, and power collide.
