The post-Cold War order is giving way to a world defined by fragmented alliances, technological rivalry, and strategic competition. In this talk, Jonathan Berkshire Miller explores how states and corporations alike are navigating the blurred line between security and economics. From the corridors of Washington and Beijing to boardrooms in Tokyo, Berlin, and Dubai, geopolitics is now inseparable from market stability and innovation. The session offers a framework for understanding how global trends in defense, trade, and technology are shaping the next decade.
Economic interdependence was once seen as a path to peace — today, it is a tool of power. This keynote unpacks how sanctions, export controls, and industrial policy have become the new instruments of statecraft. Jonathan Berkshire Miller highlights the emergence of “geo-industries” — sectors like semiconductors, critical minerals, and green tech — where competition for control is redefining globalization. The talk explains how governments and firms can adapt to this new era of strategic economic competition.
Stretching from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific Rim, the Indo-Pacific is now the global centre of gravity for trade, security, and technology. Jonathan Berkshire Miller examines the region’s shifting balance of power — from U.S.–China rivalry to the rise of middle powers such as Japan, India, South Korea, and ASEAN states. He explores the implications for global supply chains, energy security, and digital infrastructure, and offers insights on how partners in Europe and North America can remain relevant in the Indo-Pacific century.
Recent crises — from pandemics to wars — have exposed the fragility of global supply networks. In this talk, Jonathan Berkshire Miller delves into the intersection of logistics, strategy, and technology, showing how supply chains are becoming instruments of national resilience. He explains how governments and corporations are reshaping trade architecture, diversifying dependencies, and securing access to critical resources. The session is designed for executives and policymakers seeking to future-proof their operations against geopolitical shocks.
The transition to clean energy and the race for technological dominance are converging to redefine global power.
