Video: Technology Crisis on the Horizon, US-Qatar Hold the 'Trump Card'

If we talk about global crises, our attention has always been on oil, gas, or food. But there is one commodity that is more “silent” yet has a direct impact on technology: helium. Helium has long been considered trivial, associated with balloons or entertainment. In reality, the current global technology supply chain is highly dependent on helium. This gas is used in chip production, aerospace systems, and medical equipment such as MRI. Demand comes from industries with high precision standards and cannot be easily substituted. At the same time, the global supply is concentrated in a few countries. When demand increases and distribution is disrupted, pressure will be felt throughout the industrial chain.
