Digital Sovereignty – Strategies, Technologies & Implementation

After-work event in a relaxed atmosphere with leading industry experts

Digital sovereignty is increasingly evolving from a political guiding principle into a core strategic requirement for companies, public authorities and operators of critical infrastructure. Against the backdrop of geopolitical tensions, growing regulatory requirements and increasing dependence on global technology platforms, the ability to maintain control over digital resources and act independently is becoming ever more important.

Global cloud platforms, international software supply chains and data-driven business models now shape core IT architectures. At the same time, new regulatory requirements are challenging companies to balance security, compliance and innovation. Digital sovereignty is not about isolation, but about transparency, control and resilient digital ecosystems.

Look forward to inspiring keynote presentations and a high-profile panel discussion exploring how digital sovereignty can be put into practice. The focus will be on data sovereignty, cloud strategies, open source, digital identities, and striking the right balance between regulatory requirements, economic efficiency and technological innovation.

Round off the evening with exclusive networking in a relaxed atmosphere. Enjoy finger food and drinks, make new contacts and exchange ideas with fellow industry professionals.

Please note: The event programme, including the keynote presentations and panel discussion, will be held in German.
