President's Tech Brief

Every Friday at 11 AM EST, the President’s Tech Brief brings the energy of the SCSP office directly to you. Inspired by the traditional President’s Daily Brief (PDB), we provide timely, credible, and non-partisan analysis of the emerging technologies shaping national security, global markets, and the future of American competitiveness.While the DC policy ecosystem often moves in silos, the world of AI and techno-economic competition moves in real-time. We bridge that gap. Hosts Ylli Bajraktari and Martijn Rasser sit down with senior directors, subject matter experts, and industry leaders for a conversational look at the week’s most critical developments.Why tune in?-- Context over Headlines: We don't just tell you what happened; we explain why it matters for global power.-- Inside the Room: Experience the raw, thoughtful discussions typically reserved for DC’s inner circles.-- Expert Analysis: Lean on SCSP’s deep research into AI, industrial competition, and the modern workforce.
