This policy report, released by the Andalus Committee's London Office, examines how Big Tech's control over intellectual property, dual-use technologies, and critical mineral supply chains entrenches structural inequalities in the Global South—keeping developing nations trapped in low-value extractive processes while multinational tech firms monopolize the profits from high-value innovation. Using Indonesia's nickel industry as a critical case study, the report analyzes how market failures, asymmetric IP regimes, and weak regulatory enforcement allow multinational tech firms to exploit local resources and labor while blocking technology transfer and creating security vulnerabilities. The report proposes a tiered resource access system that scores foreign tech companies (0-100 points) across four pillars—local procurement, IP transfers and R&D partnerships, investment in local tech ventures, and corporate social responsibility—with higher scores unlocking priority access to critical minerals, tax breaks, and faster regulatory approval. It demonstrates how resource-rich nations can leverage their critical mineral abundance as strategic leverage to demand equitable technology transfer, indigenous innovation capacity, and community protections—offering a practical framework for the Global South to reclaim control over its resources and secure a more equitable technological future.
