Artificial intelligence (AI), 5G, cybersecurity, robotics, semiconductors, space... Technology, especially in the digital domain, is now deeply affecting all human activities and, by extension, international relations. The resulting political, strategic, economic and social issues manifest themselves at multiple political scales involving states, international organizations and private companies. The dynamics of international competition and cooperation are transformed.
It is to respond to these challenges that Ifri launched the Geopolitics of Technology program in the fall of 2020, which builds on the work it already carried out on these subjects for several years. In 2023, it incorporates Ifri's activities on Space and, in 2024, becomes the Geopolitics of Technology Center.
The Center takes a resolutely European approach to international issues related to so-called critical technologies. Its work is organized around four cross-cutting themes:
