Grand Strategic Shift under Global Techno-geopolitical Paradigm
organized by KAIST Innovation Strategy and Policy Institute(ISPI) and the Korea Policy Center for the Fourth Industrial Revolution(KPC4IR)
Continuing the global expert dialogues of the International Forum of KAIST’s Global Strategy Institute (GSI), this fifth forum zooms in the challenges of the global techno-geopolitical paradigm and corresponding requests for changes in strategy for science, technology, and innovation.
Over the past few decades, globalization led by the United States and other advanced economies has opened the global window of long and continuous global GDP growth. This growth has been triggered largely by the supply of low-cost labors from China, India, and other countries that newly entered the free-trade community. During these decades of globalization, countries around the globe participated in this historic opportunity of economic growth, and their national and international strategies have been well adjusted to the global cooperative environment.
Particularly, science, technology, and innovation have been rapidly advanced throughout the periods reaching the fourth industrial revolution characterized by artificial intelligence, big data, and other latest technologies.
However, with the outbreak of the current pandemic, this globalization is winding down, the tension between U.S. and China is escalating, and the global value chains are breaking up and restructuring. Particularly, at the center of this new tension lie, science, technology, and innovation (STI), which are leading economic growth in the new paradigm of digitization. Therefore, entering into this new normal, countries around the globe are required to change their national strategy, particularly centering on STI in light of the global value chain under restructuring.
Organized by the KAIST Center for Innovation Strategy and Policy (ISP) and the Korea Policy Center for the Fourth Industrial Revolution (KPC4IR), this forum invites global experts and advisors of global innovation issues to examine major challenges of global techno-geopolitical paradigm and corresponding request for changes in strategy for STI. Major themes of the Forum include:
(i) Understanding the global techno-geopolitical tension and its development(ii) Identifying critical issues needing attention in the global techno-geopolitical tension and the restructuring of the global value chain
(iii) Challenges and opportunities of the global techno-geopolitical tension and the restructuring of global value chain centering on science, technology, and innovation; and
(iv) Desirable directions in science and technology policy as well as industry policy under the global techno-geopolitical tension and the restructuring of the global value chain
The Forum will be a valuable resource and opportunity for all of us keen to overcome the challenges of the global techno-geopolitical paradigm and for the future of global society.
