Balancing National Resilience with Commercial Reality
Full-stack sovereign space capabilities are financially and operationally out of reach for most, and partnership strategies risk creating the appearance of independence while deepening reliance on a narrow set of providers.
This session will focus on what this evolving dynamic means for commercial collaboration. We will move beyond rhetoric to confront the strategic and financial trade-offs: If total self-sufficiency is financially out of reach, what are the minimum viable points of control required for resilience? Furthermore, how do industry leaders balance the scale of investment required for next-generation space infrastructure against fragmenting market signals?
