Opening Keynotes

13:15 - 14:00

The Defence & Aerospace Industry: a driver of economic growth and strategic independence

Description:
In a rapidly changing geopolitical context, where the gap between political announcements and budgetary realities is widening, we are witnessing a reshaping of strategic alliances between states and an acceleration of cooperation partnerships. This dynamic aims to prevent the erosion of our respective sovereignties. In this context, the defence and aerospace industries are regaining a central role as pillars of the preservation of our democracies and economic freedom.

14:00 - 14:45

Supply chains: a key driver of economic success

Description:
Supply chains are under severe strain and have been radically reconfigured several times over the past six years. Criteria such as reliability and compliance with rules are now assessed at their true value, and their impact is actively sought by all stakeholders. As true guarantors of stability and performance in an increasingly fragmented world, supply chains between partners sharing common values are now a key lever for economic success.

14:45 - 15:15

Coffee Break + Networking Session

15:15 - 16:00

Energy and the cost of economic independence

Description:
Energy exploitation has always been a major political and economic issue in international relations, accentuating the interdependence between nations with often divergent realities. After a desire for rapid emancipation from technical constraints in order to produce energy that is both clean and economically competitive, the reality of energy costs has once again emerged as a fundamental issue. This must now be taken into account in a context of political, economic and strategic vulnerability.

16:00 - 16:45

AI, cloud computing, robotics and quantum computing driving innovation and economic power

Description:
Waves of innovation and technological revolutions are following one another in rapid succession and accelerating relentlessly. In this context, the ongoing development of AI, cloud computing, robotics and quantum computing represents both a strategic opportunity and a challenge to sovereignty. It is essential to maintain control, anticipate future transformations and make the necessary adjustments to protect our security, freedoms and economic resilience. However, the crucial question remains: how can we support the growth of this integrated technological ecosystem while maximising its economic benefits and limiting its negative effects? Furthermore, how can we remain competitive in the face of increasingly innovative international players with fewer legal constraints?
