Abishur Prakash, a Geopolitical Futurist at Center for Innovating the Future and the Author of the books: Next Geopolitics: The Future of World Affairs (Technology) Volume One and Volume two based in Canada participates in Risk Roundup to discuss – Emerging Technologies Geopolitics.

Overview
Emerging Technologies Geopolitics – BackGround
Since the beginning of the technological age, each new idea, innovation and invention has helped individuals and entities across nations: its government, industries, organizations and academia (NGIOA) usher in a new era of technological age and economic growth– thereby changing the very foundation and fundamentals of nations and its security.
 
Emerging Technologies Geopolitics – How it is changing ?
In this new era of computing, the revolution and evolution of human ecosystem in cyberspace, geospace and space (CGS) is also inevitable. So, when nations have already started feeling the impact of disruptive technologies from cyberspace, and because of cyberspace, in geospace and space; the question is, how will the emerging technologies trends define and determine nations trajectory in the coming years? It seems geopolitical factors will likely play a determining role in the process.

While existing and emerging technologies brings each nation a promise of great potential, they also bring major geopolitical challenges that impacts not only national security, but also very security of humanity. It is therefore important to understand and evaluate:

* Relationship between emerging technology trends and geopolitics
* Technology resources and geopolitical relations
* Technology Trends and Disruption
* Emerging technologies and national power
* Social and political consequences of the technological change
* Determining factors of geopolitical constraints
* Nations Preparedness
* Technology trends

Conclusion – Emerging Technologies Geopolitics
Since the politicization of technology is inevitable, now more than ever, each one of us should evaluate the potential impact of technology trends  on our respective nations— and be prepared for what is to come. Time is now to talk about the “Geopolitics of Emerging Technology”!
