Shifting Priorities Towards Resilient ICT

In the rapidly evolving geopolitical and technological landscape, resilience has moved from a technical consideration to a strategic imperative. This shift is reflected in the recent announcement by the European Commission, which unveiled a €115 million AGILE programme in March 2026—an ambitious initiative designed to accelerate disruptive defence innovation across Europe. By targeting technologies such as artificial intelligence, quantum systems, and drones, and by empowering SMEs, start-ups, and scale-ups, AGILE signals a decisive move: innovation must not only be fast, but deployable, scalable, and resilient in real-world conditions.
