Europe's Defense Industry: Built to Last or Built to Lead?
Space is no longer just a frontier for exploration. It is critical infrastructure for defense, communications, and economic competitiveness, and the race to control it is reshaping the global order. Europe is responding with ambition: sovereign satellite constellations, accelerated defense programs, and a renewed industrial strategy. But ambition and execution are different things. This fireside brings together the architects of Europe's aerospace future for a candid conversation on where European sovereignty stands today, what it will take to close the gap, and why the decisions made in the next five years will define the continent's strategic position for decades to come.
