Speakers: Nikolaus Lang, the Global Leader of the BCG Henderson Institute and Rudy Durand, HEC-Paris
As part of the SMS Strategy Imagination Forum Webinar Series, this session featured Dr. Nikolaus Lang, Global Leader of the BCG Henderson Institute, BCG’s think tank, in conversation with Rudy Durand. Together, they explored the most recent developments in the geopolitics of AI, the capabilities that have made the US and China AI “superpowers,” and the path forward available to “middle powers” in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Drawing on his deep geopolitical expertise and 30 years advising senior executives at dozens of global companies, Dr. Lang explained how the geopolitics of technology are impacting businesses—and what companies are doing not only to mitigate risk, but to adapt and thrive in a new, volatile environment.
