Technological tools are today a vital component of modern statecraft. Nations hack into each other’s computer networks to collect intelligence, prepare the battlefield, and carry out sabotage. They also invest heavily in technologies that promise to fundamentally change the way we communicate. Drawing upon a diverse network of Fellows, strong alliances with the private sector, existing regional programming, and our Serious Games Initiative, the Science and Technology Innovation Program evaluates the risk of miscalculation in the digital age, identifies possible solutions and investigates options for addressing future policy challenges.
Special Initiative: 5G Beyond Borders
The Wilson Center’s 5G Beyond Borders project explores how the U.S., Canada, and Mexico can work together to maximize the benefits of 5G and related technology through informed policy solutions. The project offers an overview of the landscape of 5G technology around the globe, while also focusing on the impact of 5G on North American business, and smart manufacturing.
