DGI 2026 - Not at War, Not at Peace: 3 days of Truth at the Leading Geoint Event with Tom Webber

Описание: Three days. 1,150 participants. 60 nations. And three consecutive days of London sunshine - which may be the most unlikely achievement of all.

For the final morning show from DGI 2026, SpaceWatch.Global publisher Torsten Kriening and senior advisor for security and defense Niels Buus are joined by the mastermind behind it all - Tom Webber, Conference Director of DGI - for a wrap-up conversation that captures the mood, the milestones, and the hard truths that emerged over three extraordinary days at the QE2 Centre.

The verdict? People arrived indirect and polite. By day three, they were direct about what's at stake. And one phrase hung over everything: "We are not at war, but we are not in peacetime."

🔑 Key takeaways from three days at DGI 2026:
The defining tension: sovereignty vs. collaboration - every nation wants control, but no nation can do it alone
"It's not about how good your system is on day one - it's about day 100 or day 1,000" - a reality check for the innovation community
"It's not about more data, it's about standards" - the most debated statement of the conference
The "elevated analyst", speed, and trust - the three threads woven through every session
The shift from instruments to information: "My impression coming here was this is about cameras. No - it's about handling all the data we already produce."
Data federation as the way forward: moving beyond fragmented national silos toward shared, interoperable intelligence
60 nations showing "a genuine desire to collaborate" despite geopolitical tensions
Industry operating in two gears: peacetime innovation and conflict-speed delivery
Remondo and the new generation: instruments are getting smaller while resolution gets higher - new space is arriving in the Geoint world
DGI 2027 moves to Olympia in Kensington - bigger venue, more nations, deeper seniority

💡 Tom Webber on DGI's purpose: "Often it takes a conference like DGI to create the time for people to be together. What we've seen is a tremendous amount of goodwill from friendly nations around the world - a genuine desire to collaborate."

💡 Niels Buus on the real surprise: "My impression coming here was this is about cameras, about instruments. But no - it's about handling all the data we are already able to make."
