Can Simulation and High-Tech Safeguard Europe’s Defense?
How engineers and technology leaders can contribute to Europe’s sovereignty and resilience will be the focus of the next Blueprint Talk, broadcast live on July 21 from the CADFEM headquarters in Grafing near Munich.
“Europe’s strategic resilience today depends to a large extent on technological sovereignty,” says Josef A. Overberg, Managing Director of CADFEM Germany GmbH, a company specializing in digital simulation, ahead of the event. This edition of the Blueprint Talk will examine what the “turning point” currently being debated in politics and society means for engineers, technology leaders, and decision-makers in the high-tech sector – and how digital engineering and software-defined development can help deliver modern, flexible, and deployable defense systems in Europe in a timely manner.
The discussion will feature Yvonne Weitsch from technology group Rohde & Schwarz, Christoph Spranger from radio systems provider VITES, and Matteo Berioli from satellite communications startup AUGUSTA SPACE. In conversation with moderator Sarah Yvonne Elsser, they will explore how highly complex, next-generation defense systems can be implemented faster and more efficiently, and how companies, research institutions, and policymakers can collaborate most effectively.
