Senior Fellow

As governments across the world seek to establish their nations as technological leaders, several recent regulatory and legal developments outside the United States might significantly affect Western companies’ ability to compete at a global level. The proposed regulation in the European Union on standardized technologies is the most recent—and most prominent—example. 

Join Hudson for a discussion on this proposed regulation and its potential impact on the race for global technological leadership in the twenty-first century.
