We are proud to welcome Tom Van de Weghe, an award‑winning Belgian investigative journalist and geopolitical analyst for VRT, as our keynote speaker. Tom has built an extensive international career, serving as a correspondent in China and the United States and reporting on major global developments across Asia and the Pacific. He is recognized for his deep expertise at the intersection of geopolitics, technology, and global power shifts, supported by academic credentials in international politics, communication studies, and Slavic philology, as well as a JSK Fellowship at Stanford University focusing on AI and media authentication.
In his keynote, Tom will explore how geopolitics and emerging technologies are reshaping global competition, with a particular focus on data centers, critical raw materials, and technological dependencies. As nations race for control over digital infrastructure and essential resources, the balance of power is increasingly determined by who can build, secure, and sustain the technological backbone of the future. Tom’s sharp analysis and field experience provide a compelling perspective on these rapidly evolving dynamics.
