Emerging Technology
Emerging technology is redrawing the balance of power. Advances in biotechnology, quantum computing, semiconductors, and space technology are creating new sources of economic strength and military advantage, and democracies are competing with authoritarian rivals to lead them. This hub is the gateway to analysis across the emerging technology frontier: the security implications of biotechnology, the promise and risk of quantum computing, the semiconductor supply chains that underpin everything, and the growing contest over space technology. Fellows and analysts, including specialists in the defense-technology field, assess how the United States and Europe can lead in emerging technology responsibly and protect critical capabilities. Explore analysis and commentary spanning biotechnology, quantum computing, semiconductors, and space technology.
