“Digital Sovereignty and the Digital Omnibus Package:
A New Era for Digital Politics in the EU?"
On November 19, the European Commission unveiled its Digital Omnibus Package - a sweeping
initiative to reorganize and modernize Europe’s digital regulatory landscape. At the same time
and in the light of the recent geopolitical discussions, the European Commission is pushing for
Digital Sovereignty, aiming at strengthening Europe's capacity in cloud infrastructure and AI.
What does this mean for U.S. companies operating in or with Europe? Is this a move toward
digital deregulation and a rejection of the dominance of US tech companies?
Join us for an exclusive breakfast briefing and learn about the proposed changes that come with
the Digital Omnibus and how Digital Sovereignty might translate into a new era of European
digital politics.
There is no charge to attend this event.
To attend, please RSVP to events@acgusa.org by Friday, January 30, 2026.
