Industrial Revolution 4.0 Webinar Series: Geoeconomics and Technology

As global powers deploy economic tools for geopolitical purposes — otherwise known as geoeconomics — the stakes are high for Canada as a middle power country. At the forefront of geoeconomic tensions is the development and use of technology, which affects businesses across a range of sectors. Governments and businesses that control these technologies gain a critical edge over their competition and have leverage that alter the balance of power in a way that was traditionally dictated by military strength. This webinar will focus on the race to develop and control the use of critical technologies that both enable business activity as well as have national security implications. The webinar will also discuss how Canada navigate this landscape to protect our economic and national security.
