Stephan Scheuer covers how technology is reshaping markets, power structures, and societies—reporting today from the Handelsblatt headquarters in Düsseldorf. He leads the newspaper’s technology team and focuses on the strategies of global tech companies, the telecoms sector, and the political dimensions of the digital transition.

Previously, he served as Handelsblatt’s Silicon Valley correspondent based in San Francisco and as China correspondent based in Beijing. He trained as a journalist at the German Press Agency (dpa) and studied International Relations and Chinese Studies in Berlin, London, and Beijing.

As an author, he has written extensively about the economic and geopolitical implications of digitalization.

His reporting has been honored with several journalism awards, including the German Business Film Prize and the Heinrich Heine Journalism Award.
