Tech is the new battlespace.

The Code Wars decodes the invisible, high-stakes battle for technological supremacy that is actively reshaping global power.

In a world driven by innovation, the new front lines aren't drawn in sand, but in silicon. The contests for global influence are waged not just with armies, but with algorithms, semiconductors, and data. Welcome to The Code Wars, your essential guide to understanding this new reality.

Join host Hugh Simpson as he navigates the complex issues at the intersection of technology and geopolitics. We go beyond the headlines to explore the unseen forces at play: from the fierce competition to build the next generation of AI and quantum computers, to the weaponisation of space and the critical vulnerabilities in our digital infrastructure. We bring you conversations with the engineers, strategists, policymakers, and thinkers who are living and breathing this conflict every day.

Drawing from a decade of experience as a Warfare Officer in the Royal Australian Navy and over 15 years at the forefront of technology, Hugh offers a unique perspective on the evolving landscape of technology and its impact in geopolitics and global security. His journey has taken him from running operations in active warzones to leading London and Kyiv based technology firms specialising in Data, AI, and Internet of Things.
