Aiming at World Domination: The Role of Tech, The Opportunity for Europe

By Klecha & Co. in collaboration with Rosa Roubini Associates.

From Silicon Valley’s unexpected alignment with U.S. defense priorities to Beijing’s dual circulation strategy and Europe’s bold regulatory agenda—our latest report, Aiming at World Domination, offers a sharp, data-rich analysis of the new global tech arms race.

This research unpacks the dynamics of Cold War 2.0 between the U.S. and China, revealing how artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and nuclear fusion have become the battlegrounds for global supremacy. It also outlines the once-in-a-generation opportunity for Europe to position itself as a global safe haven for innovation—if it can overcome internal fragmentation and act decisively.

Discover how geopolitical power shifts, technological acceleration, and Europe’s competitiveness are converging to reshape the global order.

In this research paper you will learn more about:

• The new geopolitical fault lines driven by Trump’s return
• China’s response: retaliatory tariffs, self-reliant tech, and the “Digital Silk Road”
• The rise of the “Perfect Triangle” in tech: AI, quantum computing, nuclear fusion
• Europe’s competitive lag—and how the Draghi & Letta Reports aim to close the gap
• The EU’s unique position in global regulation—and why “reg-tech” alone isn’t enough
• Financing innovation in a fragmented Europe: the case for EU bonds and ARPA-style governance
• Scenario analysis: three futures for the U.S., one historic opportunity for Europe
