Technopolitics - Understanding How Geopolitics Is Reshaping Global Tech. What Business Leaders Need to Know!
On this episode of Rethinking Tech, Aparna speaks with digital sovereignty expert Damien Kopp about the growing importance of technopolitics—the intersection of technology, geopolitics, and national power. Damien outlines why business and technology leaders must rethink traditional business continuity planning to account for new vulnerabilities driven by global tensions, data-residency laws, supply-chain dependencies, and the ideological biases embedded in modern AI systems.
Together, they examine how conflicts, regulation, and competition between major powers like the US and China are reshaping technology choices for companies worldwide. Damien offers a practical framework for assessing geopolitical exposure within tech stacks, discusses the misconceptions around “sovereign clouds,” and explores how emerging power blocs such as the BRICS are redefining digital influence. Listen in today if you're a business leader that wants a forward-looking analysis of what organizations seeking resilience in an increasingly fragmented tech landscape need to know.
