Tom Van de Weghe is a geopolitics and technology expert at VRT NWS, Belgium's public broadcaster, and one of Europe's sharpest voices on the US-China tech race. After more than twenty two years covering China's rise — first as VRT's correspondent in Beijing, later from Washington — he deepened his tech focus as a Research Fellow at Stanford University, where he studied artificial intelligence and deepfake detection. Today, Tom curates the Ghent-based innovation hub Wintercircus and works at the intersection of geopolitics, AI, and European resilience. He is the author of several books on China, including the latest bestseller Terug naar China, and co-hosts the award-winning podcast China voorbij de muur and Fixing Europe. At Techorama, he connects the dots between the technologies we build and the world they are reshaping.
