DESCRIPTION:This talk will explore the nexus of technological innovation\,
  geopolitics\, and security. Drawing on his academic research into the ris
 e of tech-enabled states and his practical experience advising political l
 eaders at the Tony Blair Institute\, Keegan McBride will examine three int
 erconnected questions. First\, how is technological innovation reshaping t
 he structure of geopolitical competition\, and what structures might state
 s need to navigate this transformation? Second\, what realistic strategies
  are available to middle powers as they navigate a world increasingly defi
 ned by US–China technological rivalry? Third\, what future scenarios may
  leaders expect to encounter\, and what strategies should they consider to
 day to build secure\, resilient\, and prosperous positions for the future?

 t the Tony Blair Institute. He also serves as an Adjunct Senior Fellow in
