Can digital sovereignty be achieved? The topics covered in this Trend Talk focus on this central question, which has immense implications for all of us and for Europe.

The session will highlight and present initial ideas ranging from IT strategy and the opportunities associated with cloud usage to Europe’s role between the major powers of the US and China in achieving digital sovereignty.

The presentations will conclude with a panel discussion in which the various aspects and perspectives relating to digital sovereignty will be debated, enriched by academic insights and explored in greater depth in selected areas.

The event will thus provide not only in-depth insights into the topic but also outline practical recommendations and implementation options for how digital sovereignty can be successfully harnessed as an opportunity to achieve greater independence from the major tech corporations, thereby creating greater security and trust for Europe. Let yourself be captivated and inspired, and join us in discussing how digital sovereignty can become a strategic strength for us all.
