Bloomberg Tech | Day 1 | Opening Night Debate
Geoffrey Gertz, senior fellow, joined Bloomberg Tech's opening night debate and attempted to answer the question “Is Europe Too Late to Compete in the Chip War?” The U.S. and China dominate the semiconductor race — America with capital, Silicon Valley culture and trade restrictions, China with resources and talent.

Watch the full debate on Bloomberg Tech.
