As models like ChatGPT and DeepSeek emerge as proxies for competing tech-industrial ecosystems, national strategies are increasingly defined by chip fabs, data routes, and AI capability - not just borders and bases. This panel will unpack how techno-nationalism is redrawing trade flows, digital governance, and geopolitical alignments - while countries like Taiwan, Indonesia, the UAE and India navigate strategic autonomy in a bifurcating AI world.
