Geopolitics of Space – Enjeux géopolitiques de l’espace

Space is no longer just the realm of exploration — it has become a key arena of geopolitical competition, economic power, and security strategy. As major powers expand their ambitions in orbit, questions about militarization, governance, and the future of space are becoming increasingly urgent.

The latest Edition of the Diplomatic Council Quantum Series by Harald A. Summa (Chair Diplomatic Council Quantum Leap Initiative) and Matthias Reidans (Program Manager Innovation) is available. 

The Diplomatic Council Quantum Series provides a strategic overview of global developments in quantum technology — from scientific milestones and market dynamics to questions of security, leadership, and readiness.
