Tech Diplomacy in the Era of US/China/EU Rivalry

Science & Tech Diplomacy (Part 1) : Tech Diplomacy in the Era of US/China/EU Rivalry

Tech diplomacy has rapidly moved from the margins to the core of international relations. As science diplomacy becomes a key lens to understand global power, tech diplomacy emerges as its most strategic and technical frontier.

Today’s tech diplomats navigate a dense agenda: attracting AI talent, shaping global norms and standards, governing data, and securing digital infrastructures. At the same time, the field is no longer state-centric: powerful private actors, from big tech firms to research networks, now play a decisive role in structuring outcomes. This round table asks a central question: Is tech diplomacy simply a new specialization or a transformation of diplomacy itself? The answer lies in the growing tension between competition and cooperation, structured above all by the US/China/EU rivalry.
