This webinar is the second of our series 'Dealing with China on high-tech issues'.
#2 European strategic autonomy on high-tech
Also for the good of Transatlantic cooperation?
In recent years, the debate about ‘strategic and technological autonomy’ has gained increasing traction in Europe. But is this a protectionist turn to ‘Europe first’, or is it designed to strengthen Europe’s defensive toolkit and promote more coordinated and forceful action between EU Member States? What do EU Member States aim for, and how do like-minded partner countries evaluate Europe’s efforts so far?
