September 22, 2026

On September 22nd, Yan St-Pierre was invited by ACADEM (the Ecole Militaire’s Defense Academy) and CESA (the Center for Aerospace Strategic Studies) to the presentation of the results of the first LAB DES FUTURS – critical metals by 2050 (in French).

This project brought together experts, researchers and practitioners to discuss security and defense issues related to critical metals through eight scenarios. The purpose of this exercise was to explore the possibilities surrounding these issues and to highlight blind spots that experts might overlook during their analyses.
