The global pivot towards decentralized, resilient, and geopolitically independent critical infrastructures.
A profound shift is underway, driven by a global yearning for autonomy and resilience. As geopolitical tensions intensify and the world fragments into a multipolar landscape, nations and regions are actively building 'Sovereign Stacks' – parallel and localized critical infrastructures. This trend manifests across digital technology, where nations court alternative providers to avoid single-point dependencies, and in energy, with the rapid adoption of distributed energy resources (DERs) to bolster grid resilience and local control. The drive is to reduce vulnerability to external pressures, cyber threats, and supply chain disruptions, fostering a new era of self-reliance. This isn't merely decentralization; it's a strategic re-architecture of global systems, where sovereignty is asserted through the very foundations of power and connectivity.
