Scientific and technological innovations have become a new variable in measuring geopolitical risks. For example, intense competition for technological superiority underlies the current trade conflict between China and the United States. Technological leaps in areas such as AI, 5G, drones, 3D printing, blockchain, and quantum computing are impacting the regional and global economic, manufacturing, and trade systems. The Chey Institute of Advanced Studies aims to analyze the role of scientific innovation on geopolitical risk and seeks to understand its implications.
