The topic area “technology” highlights the interplay between technological development and international politics. Our experts analyze how technologies influence geopolitical security issues and global power relations – for example, in digital infrastructures, cybersecurity, and supply chains.

The aim is to provide research-based support for Europe’s technological sovereignty, the identification of risks, and the reduction of dependencies.
