Event Overview
In 1990 the threats of today were not envisaged. Will this be equally true of the situation that will confront the world in the 2020s? Equipment lead times are long and acquisition processes complex and expensive. This forum, held as DSEi brings London into global focus, looks at how to avoid being wrong footed in the 2020s.
