The European Union’s ambition to enhance strategic autonomy relies heavily on fortifying its defence and space industries. This keynote will dive into the critical role that capacity building and investment play in strengthening these sectors. The session will focus on how industrial partnerships, public-private investments, and sustainable supply chains are essential to both the defence sector’s and space sector’s resilience. Senior representatives from the EU will explore policy frameworks, investment strategies, and cross-sector synergies that will empower Europe to maintain a competitive edge in the global space landscape while addressing growing technological and security demands.
