Critical & Emerging Technology Cooperation in the US-Korea Alliance

KEI is pleased to co-host a hybrid panel with the University of Texas at Austin’s Clements-Strauss Asia Policy Program, on Critical & Emerging Technology Cooperation in the US-Korea Alliance. The panelist will present findings from their papers on US-Korea cooperation in the areas of advanced computing technology, semiconductor supply chains & technology, clean energy technology, and biotechnology and biomanufacturing.

The panelists’ papers will later be published in the fall 2024 issue of KEI’s flagship journal, Korea Policy. The fall issue is motivated by the broadening and deepening of the alliance into what Presidents Joe Biden and Yoon Suk Yeol in 2023 called a strategic economic and technology partnership and global comprehensive strategic alliance. The issue will explore an array of new and emerging areas of alliance cooperation by charting leader-level commitments that have been made in these areas in recent years; taking stock of progress made; offering realistic, viable, and mutually beneficial paths for further progress; and highlighting various challenges and obstacles that could stand in the way.

The two-part hybrid panel event will run from 12:00-2:00PM CDT in SRH 3.B10, The LBJ School of Public Affairs and be livestreamed via a KEI platform.
