In the debut episode of Geopolitics and Business, hosts Dr. Thomas Ramge and Björn Conrad lay out the mission behind the podcast: decoding how political power and corporate strategy are increasingly inseparable.

Joining them is Ansgar Baums, tech policy expert and seasoned observer of global business-government dynamics. Together, they unpack how export controls, sanctions, and fragmented tech stacks are reshaping the rules of international commerce.

This is a no-fluff, high-insight conversation at the intersection of strategy and statecraft—your front-row seat to the new era of geopolitical business.
