Title

Strategic Risk Management for Successful Space & Defence Programmes

type

oral

Description

The space economy has arrived. Today, space is a vital component in spurring innovation and driving the development of state-of-the-art capabilities; Creating vast market opportunities; Accelerating global economic growth; Promoting collaboration; Building the capacity for scientific excellence; and Contributing to our safety and quality of life. By 2030, the space economy is projected to reach 1 trillion dollars. Nevertheless, in the current fraught geopolitical and economic context, it appears that no organization is fully prepared to capitalize on this near-term explosion of growth and avoid a “space hype bubble.” There will be extensive new markets, scientific advancements, and human benefits if we can mitigate risks and realize opportunities. Abstracts would be welcome on the following topics: - How are geopolitical and socio-economic changes affecting our risk management practices? What are the major consequences of current and future crises on our risk predictions? - Are we better prepared to foresee the “unpredictable” and grasp opportunities linked to the changing world? - Do we have the right capacity to face such changes in terms of Human resources and other capabilities?
