ICT Competition and Cyber Security in the 21st Century Geopolitics

As emerging techno­logies become pivotal elements of 21st-century geo­politics, inter-state competition in the Information and Communication Techno­logy (ICT) sector is intensifying, and cyber­security is assuming greater signi­ficance. This panel aims to explore how we should understand techno­logical competition in the ICT and cyber domains within the context of contemporary geo­politics. Furthermore, it will examine the cyber­security landscapes and response strategies of Europe, Asia, and the United States.

The event is the first in a trilateral seminar series co-hosted by the Consulates General of Japan, Korea, and the United States in Frankfurt. It features experts, including PRIF researchers, who will discuss their respective countries‘ perspec­tives and policies on current global issues and areas of mutual interest. A follow-up seminar on global supply chains and risk mitigation will take place on November 18.
