Moritz Von Knebel

Moritz von Knebel works at the intersection of technology and geopolitics. His previous research focused on institutions for future generations (work for which he was awarded an ambassadorship for future generations by the United Nations Foundation), the (inter-)national security implications of the semiconductor supply chain in Asia (work for which he was awarded a DAAD scholarship as a Visiting Scholar at INDSR, Taipei) and the possibilities and barriers to international cooperation and coordination on emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence (which he has worked on as a Mercator Fellow on International Affairs). Moritz has worked with a number of philanthropic foundations, think tanks and civil society representatives in the US, the UK, Taiwan and Europe, including leading the government affairs work for a Berkeley-based research institute. His work has been published in peer-reviewed journals and featured at conferences in Stanford, Berlin, Singapore, Riyadh and Brussels. As a non-resident Fellow at fp21, the Portulans Institute and the Oxford China Policy Lab, he works on the relevance of emerging technologies for foreign policy, international relations and diplomacy. He supports the German government and the GIZ as a Fellow with their series of International Digital Dialogues and serves as a consultant to the OECD.
