Earth observation (EO) is becoming a critical source of intelligence for leaders navigating a world increasingly shaped by climate risk, geopolitical shifts and supply chain disruption.

Unlocking progress across these three domains will determine whether EO moves from a high-potential capability to system-level impact.
