• Authoritarian states are forming a “networked Heartland” by asserting control over supply chains, critical minerals, and digital infrastructure

• This session outlines a new strategic architecture that fuses military and economic security and the pivotal role defense and technology leaders will play

• A forward-looking analysis of how control over critical systems will define power in the decades to come - and what must be done to stay ahead
