Jorge Guajardo’s Speech Topics

  • Can the West Outrun Chinese Innovation?

    It’s not just DeepSeek and its challenge to OpenAI. BYD, Xiaomi, Temu, and Shein are Chinese companies that many in the Western world have never heard of yet are the biggest threats to Tesla, Apple, and Amazon. Ambassador Jorge Guajardo explains how Chinese companies are disrupting foreign competitors not by stealing or copying their technology but by out-innovating. He helps investors understand what they’re not seeing and how to improve their line-of-sight to spot new disruptions.

  • Is Free Trade Destined to Fail?

    As trade wars disrupt and reconfigure supply chains, will free trade between countries still be an option, or is this economic model gone forever? Ambassador Jorge Guajardo helps audiences understand where free trade went wrong and what we can expect going forward in terms of business and trade.

  • Blind Spots and How to Overcome Them When Competing With China?

    Ambassador Jorge Guajardo explains why China upended the free trade model and how the West has reached a point in which it may need to protect its economies from Chinese imports but, in the process, risk losing line-of-sight on how China is out-innovating certain industries, leading to surprises like DeepSeek’s disruption of Open AI and Nvidia.
