On this episode of Rethinking Tech, Aparna speaks with digital sovereignty expert Damien Kopp about the growing importance of technopolitics - the intersection of technology, geopolitics, and national power. Damien outlines why business and technology leaders must rethink traditional business continuity planning to account for new vulnerabilities driven by global tensions, data-residency laws, supply-chain dependencies, and the ideological biases embedded in modern AI systems.Together, they examine how conflicts, regulation, and competition between major powers like the U.S. and China are reshaping technology choices for companies worldwide. Damien offers a practical framework for assessing geopolitical exposure within tech stacks, discusses the misconceptions around “sovereign clouds,” and explores how emerging power blocs such as the BRICS are redefining digital influence.This conversation provides a clear, forward-looking analysis for organizations seeking resilience in an increasingly fragmented technological landscape.📌 Stay Connected🎧 Spotify: Rethinking Tech🍏 Apple Podcasts: Rethinking Tech📸 Tik Tok: @rethinking_tech💼 LinkedIn: Rethinking Tech Podcast👤 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aparnabhushan/👤 LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/harindak/⁠👤 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/damienkopp/
