The rise of Asia is reshaping the global economy, challenging long-held assumptions about where economic and technological power resides. What do the emergence of these superstates and the rapid growth of China’s technology sector mean for innovation, trade and the future international order?

Join Vince Cable and Rebecca Fannin for a discussion of the themes explored in their books Eclipsing the West and The New Tech Titans of China. Drawing on decades of experience in economics, policymaking, journalism and technology analysis, they will examine how China and India are transforming the global balance of power and what this means for businesses, governments and societies around the world.

The conversation will explore China’s growing technological ambitions, from AI and advanced manufacturing to digital platforms and innovation ecosystems, alongside India’s rise as a major economic force along with India as a fast-emerging contender. The speakers will consider the opportunities and risks created by these shifts to Asia, including implications for global trade, investment, regulation, climate policy and geopolitical competition.
