"Openness to foreign talent could be a competitive advantage for up-and-coming tech hubs around the world, particularly as the U.S.-traditionally the world's leading tech sector-begins to look more skeptically at immigration. The Trump administration is tightening visa policies, leading to delays for those trying to enter the U.S. And moves like the White House's campaign against leading universities may be discouraging international students from pursuing education in the U.S."
""When I look at Europe, this is a perfect time to be a lot more open, to include a lot more STEM students from around the world to go to Europe, to innovate on AI in Europe," Tung said. "Wherever is more open still has a chance to win the next cycle.""
"Wendy Tan White, CEO of Intrinsic, a robotics firm owned by Alphabet, pointed out a lack of local talent is constraining U.S. ambitions to revive domestic manufacturing. "That has to be replaced in some way," she explained. "I think the only way to do it now is through intelligent automation, especially if you want to bring that reshoring of manufacturing back to the U.S.," White said."
U.S. visa policies are tightening, causing delays for entrants and discouraging international students and researchers. Political shifts in the U.S. are making other regions more attractive destinations for global STEM talent. Europe and emerging tech hubs can gain a competitive edge by welcoming foreign students and innovators, particularly in AI. A shortage of domestic manufacturing talent constrains efforts to reshore production and may accelerate adoption of intelligent automation. Recent immigration enforcement actions have strained foreign investment ties and prompted concern among international businesses. U.S. leaders have acknowledged that foreign experts remain necessary to build up industry.
