Keynote Theatre
From Necker Island to the frontlines of global defence, Sir Richard Branson and Dave Mackay explore how Europe and the UK can lead the next industrial revolution in space - from commercial human flight and next-gen spacecraft to trillion-dollar space-based energy and data infrastructure. As space becomes critical to security, climate solutions and economic power, this fireside chat tackles the bold question: will competition or cooperation define humanity’s future beyond Earth?
