2025 CEPA Forum Tech & Security Conference

Technology is defining the future of geopolitics. To stay ahead of rivals like China and Russia, North America and Europe must rise to the strategic challenge and ensure collaboration between public and private sectors to foster innovation and ensure a democratic digital domain. This challenge is not only limited to spheres of business and innovation but also on the battlefield and will lay the foundation of security and prosperity on both sides of the Atlantic for future generations.

Against this backdrop, CEPA will host its annual Tech & Security Conference on Thursday, October 9, 2025, to examine the intersections of technology and security and bring together thought leaders and experts from industry and the public sectors to discuss today’s most pressing policy challenges. Key areas of focus will include industrial base challenges, technology and trade, and the building blocks of artificial intelligence (AI). Additionally, the discussion will explore the role of emerging and disruptive technologies on the battlefield, including advancements in drone warfare and next-generation.
