Axios’ Future of Defense event will highlight private-sector, government and military leaders who are forging a new national security vision for the United States. Cutting-edge technology has changed the character of warfare, challenging the Pentagon, its suppliers and its friends abroad.
Request an invite to attend in person in Washington, D.C. to hear how today's leaders are thinking about battlefield supremacy in an age of data, autonomy, industry upheaval and more.
The rise and expansion of AI and swift changes in trade policies have upended how businesses and the government chase a unified vision for growth. As a result, this has spurred an era of volatility as businesses seek protection against rising costs, and the private sector rethinks how to drive innovation. And with AI becoming central to how we forecast risk and manage supply chains, companies must prioritize how to use data and intelligence to reconfigure how they compete.
In partnership with Exiger, Axios will bring together government and industry leaders, economists, and innovators who will explore what it takes to build a resilient future. We’ll discuss the evolving trade landscape's ripple effect on the global economy, the optimism of business investors, and AI's increasing role in building supply chain resilience.
