With rapid technological, economic and geopolitical advancement, China represents a complex and multidimensional challenge for the United States, which goes far beyond traditional military and economic competition. In redefining the strategic balance between the two powers, the analysis of factors such as: skills and knowledge, technological innovation, education, research and development is of fundamental importance.
We will therefore analyze Chinese investments in cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, 5G, quantum computing and biotechnology, and the consequences of these developments for maintaining US leadership in science and technology. Strategies to protect intellectual property, stimulate innovation, and strengthen the resilience capacity of the American technology ecosystem will also be deepened.
International policy experts, academics and industry representatives will discuss possible US responses, capitalizing on strengths such as higher education, international collaboration and advanced research, but also the challenges to overcome to maintain a competitive advantage in a global context in rapid change.
The aim is to offer an in-depth insight into the knowledge-based competition that characterizes Sino-American relations and to identify effective strategies for the future.
