Summary of Defense, Emerging Technology, and Strategy Program Report

Defense, Emerging Technology, and Strategy (DETS) Program

The DETS Program focuses on advancing knowledge at the intersection of security and technology, preparing students and fellows for public service leadership.

Critical and Emerging Technologies Index

This index benchmarks national technological power across Artificial Intelligence, Biotechnology, Semiconductors, Space Technologies, and Quantum Technologies for 25 countries. It uses a quantitative model with adjustable indicators in an interactive dashboard, based on data points and pillars like economic resources and human capital.

Key Findings

• The United States leads in all sectors due to its innovation ecosystem, economic resources, and human capital.
• China is competitive and closing the gap, especially in biotechnology and quantum, with strengths in scale and production.
• Europe ranks third overall, with notable potential but constraints in semiconductors and space; deeper collaboration is key for technological power.
• Semiconductors and AI have critical gaps; no single country dominates end-to-end supply chains.
• International cooperation enhances technological strength, and the U.S. must deepen alliances to maintain competitiveness.

METHODOLOGY

The Index uses 48 pillars (e.g., economic resources, human capital) derived from data collection, normalization, and weighting based on strategic value to generate sector and composite scores.

CONCLUSION

The Index highlights the dynamic nature of technology competition, emphasizing the need for adaptive policies and collaboration to navigate global challenges.
