Collateral Risk, Episode 3: Sovereignty and Self-Sufficiency

August 13, 2026·45 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

Europe cannot build space resilience by trying to own every element itself. Sovereignty now depends on trusted access, interoperability, and a commercial ecosystem that can adapt as quickly as the threat environment.  In Episode 3 of Collateral Risk, SSPI Executive Director Tamara Bond-Williams speaks with Prof. Dr.-Ing. Chiara Manfletti, CEO of Neuraspace and Professor at the Technical University of Munich, about sovereignty and self-sufficiency in a rapidly changing space sector.    Manfletti explains why civilian and military space cannot be cleanly separated; why resilience depends on the entire chain from launch and ground systems to cloud services and data; and how Europe can combine public purpose with commercial speed and innovation.    <span class="TextRun SCXW135275039 BCX2" lang="EN-US" style= "
