In this episode of the BritCham Podcast, Daisy Radford, Managing Director – APAC at Reversec, sits down with Jim Fitzsimmons, Principal at Control Risks, for a deep dive into one of the most complex and fast-evolving topics in global business today: digital sovereignty.

From national security and geopolitical competition to regulatory divergence and supply-chain uncertainty, Jim unpacks why governments across the world are tightening control over data, technology and critical infrastructure — and what this means for companies operating across Asia.

He explains the real motivations behind digital sovereignty, the growing challenges businesses face around compliance and cybersecurity, and why navigating cross-border tech regulations now requires both agility and strategic foresight.

The conversation also explores emerging concepts such as data embassies, AI governance, and the shifting landscape shaped by US–China tech competition.

🎧 A must-listen for leaders managing risk, technology, operations or regulatory exposure across the region.
