Geopolitics of Semiconductor Standards & HPC Chips: Navigating China’s Influence on Global Tech Norms

InDiCo-Global Webinar Series

Semiconductors and high-performance computing (HPC) chips are at the core of today’s digital infrastructure — and increasingly, the subject of strategic geopolitical focus. As China accelerates its standardisation push under the China Standards 2035 initiative, global actors are re-evaluating how to safeguard innovation, interoperability, and resilience

In this first webinar of the InDiCo-Global series, we welcome Dr. Susann Lüdtke to explore the intersections of geopolitics, standardisation, and technology through the lens of her research on de-risking in the semiconductor domain.

The session will introduce a new study that maps the evolving standardisation and regulatory environment in China, benchmarks Chinese standards against those of the EU, and identifies areas of convergence and divergence — with an eye toward critical policy, security, and economic implications.
