Virtual Event | Countering China's Digital Silk Road: Brazil

Join the Center for a New American Security (CNAS) on Monday, May 12, at 2:00 p.m. ET for a virtual event on the intensifying U.S.-China technology competition in Brazil, the largest economy in Latin America and a technology market of over 220 million people.

Experts will assess the U.S.-China competition to become Brazil’s partner of choice for strategic technologies like cloud services, data centers, artificial intelligence, and low Earth orbit satellites. The event will also explore the specific ways the United States can improve its technology partnership with Brazil.

This virtual event follows the release of a new CNAS report, Countering the Digital Silk Road: Brazil, the latest installment in a major research project from the Technology and National Security Program assessing the economic and security implications of China’s Digital Silk Road. The report is the second of four in-depth case studies on strategically vital “swing” nations: Indonesia, Brazil, Kenya, and Saudi Arabia.

The session will conclude with a live Q&A session with the audience.
