Transatlantic Sync: Germany & Silicon Valley: Shaping a Digital Future

I was delighted to be a part of "Transatlantic Sync: Germany & Silicon Valley: Shaping a Digital Future." at the Computer History Museum next to Google headquarters on October 27-29, 2019.

I was on a panel to consider supply chains along with China, a theme throughout the conference, so my contribution was to build from the historical context of supply chains in Asia; adding a new digital context for creating value across different functions; thinking about it from a political economy perspective in terms of rules and regulations shaping markets, in turn shaped by policy; how politics are about power and winners and losers; and considerating specific technologies such as 5G and possible fragmented international architectures, etc.

Here is the video from the panel :Link to Youtube
Link starts at my remarks as a dense but concise clip of what I give many talks about -- how technological trajectories are shaped by regulatory environment, shaped by politics, which differs across countries.
Also a historically informed perspective on cross-national production networks in Asia, and how value-creation from 5G is not from the 5G networks themselves, but who uses it to what end. And if the world's 5G environment differs in China, the US, EU, and Japan, what are some of the ways in which different areas will feel the impacts?
I was able to get across several things I've wanted to share, so thanks for the opportunity!

Lots of fascinating panels and amazing speakers.
