European Security and the Struggle for Technological Sovereignty
Seminar

Thursday, 22. August
210 minutes
English

Progress in emerging and disruptive technologies (EDTs) is enabling a transformation of security and the democratisation of technological tools of war for which Europeans are unprepared. The seminar investigates how Europeans can consolidate defence innovation in EDTs, reduce critical dependencies, and re-shore critical supply chains in a multipolar world. A tabletop exercise allows participants to explore how current gaps in technological sovereignty practically affect European security and defence.
