Jan-Peter Kleinhans

Jan-Peter Kleinhans is director of the “Technology and Geopolitics” project at the Stiftung Neue Verantwortung. His work focuses on the intersection of global semiconductor value chains and geopolitics. Before that Jan-Peter led SNV’s work on 5G security and the resilience of our future mobile networks. He presented his work on 5G security at the German parliament's committee on foreign affairs and the NATO parliamentary assembly. After joining SNV in 2014 Jan-Peter analyzed why the market failed to produce reasonably trustworthy consumer IoT devices. He explored if and how standardization, certification and market surveillance can create economic incentives for IoT manufacturers to produce secure and trustworthy IoT devices.
