Niels Vejrup Carlsen emphasizes, 'Space technologies often have a defence dimension. At the same time, the war in Ukraine has shown that space plays an enormous military strategic role. These sectors are inseparable when we need to re-establish European defence in response to the military threats and geopolitical conflicts that have become a new European reality.' This highlights the critical intersection between space and defense due to current geopolitical tensions.
Carlsen notes, 'The war in Ukraine has revealed a technological arms race so intense that only agile startups can keep pace. We need new innovative companies to challenge the established players and create a more dynamic market. Meanwhile, we can expect massive public investments in defence in the coming years, so meeting the demand will be a challenge in itself.' This reflects the urgent need for innovation in defense technologies.
