Our New Normal Changemakers Conversations
COVID-19, Techno-Nationalism & The Dominance of Big Tech
With major cities entering lock-down mode and stock markets fluctuating amid COVID-19 pandemic fears, businesses are forced to review their modus operandi and growth strategy. The looming Tech Cold War between US and China as they compete for technological supremacy adds salt to wound for many. Despite all the headwinds, Big Tech continues to grow in record pace and the public is increasingly concerned about their outsized dominance. For some startups, this could be the worst crisis since the last recession. For others, this presents exciting opportunities to strengthen their positions.
