Trade & Technology

Key Focus

Trade and technology are emerging as ever more important mechanisms for influence amid intensifying great power competition and an uncertain future for global economic leadership. Stimson’s work across trade and technology focuses on how economic security concerns are reshaping trade policy, supply chains, and technological development. As we interrogate assumptions and forecast future trends, our experts are examining digital trade, data governance, and the role of emerging technologies in economic statecraft, as well as analyzing standards-setting, export controls, and the use of trade and technology as strategic tools of influence. Through expert engagement with decisionmakers at all levels, Stimson is working to strengthen resilience, identify risk, and enhance competitiveness in a contested global economy.
