Global affairs are defined by heightened geopolitical frictions alongside major regulatory and operational pushes in advanced technology. Geopolitically, tensions remain high as international actors navigate escalating European hybrid threats, military posture shifts, and growing trade friction. In the space domain, global launch providers continue executing rapid-tempo orbital deployments for mega-constellations and deep-space science hardware. Simultaneously, the artificial intelligence sector is experiencing accelerated oversight, with emergency regulatory measures like model “kill-switch” frameworks taking shape ahead of high-level UN Security Council briefings on safe AI deployment.
