The pandemic has increased the momentum behind digitalization and technological innovation. Countries around the world are competing to develop data management (including for cross-border data), AI strategies, and 5G environments, as well as the rules and standards that govern them. At the same time, major challenges loom. The struggle for technological hegemony between the US and China is the most important of these, leading to heightened geopolitical risk. In addition, the decoupling between the two countries in the advanced technology sector could disrupt global supply chains, with consequences for companies and governments.
