The Time is Now to Establish EU Digital Autonomy
As the European Union embarks on a new political and legislative cycle, the focus on compliance, resilience, and strategic autonomy has never been more urgent. The very fabric of Europe’s digital future hinges on the principles of cloud sovereignty—a concept designed to protect data within Europe’s borders, foster innovation, and enhance the continent’s global market position.
A Rapidly Changing Landscape
This is your chance to hear from EU legislators, policymakers, and industry players! The drive for sovereign cloud solutions is not a trend but a foundational shift, responding to a world where data security and digital autonomy are no longer optional but essential. Europe’s commitment to these principles is evidenced by a growing body of regulations aimed at strengthening data sovereignty. The Data Act and similar legislative measures are setting the stage for an era of heightened digital governance, ensuring that European data remains under European control. These regulations are about creating a secure and trustworthy digital environment supporting businesses and citizens.
Growth and Collaboration in the Industry
The upcoming European Sovereign Cloud Day will delve into how far Europe has come in establishing sovereign cloud services. Key discussions will include the development of interoperability standards and the portability of cloud services across European borders, ensuring seamless integration while maintaining sovereignty. The conference will bring together voices from various industries to discuss collaborative strategies between the public and private sectors. These collaborations are critical to advancing and deploying next-generation cloud technologies, which are the backbone of Europe’s digital sovereignty.
Embrace the Momentum and Addressing Cybersecurity Challenges
With the widespread adoption of sovereign cloud solutions comes an array of cybersecurity challenges. The Day will explore how Europe can navigate these hurdles, balancing the need for digital sovereignty with the benefits of global collaboration in cloud technology innovation. It’s not just about building walls but about creating bridges—secure and controlled—through which information can flow.
The momentum behind sovereign cloud initiatives in Europe is tangible. Recent developments have shown significant growth in the adoption of these solutions, proving that the market is ready and the industry is ripe for expansion. Check out last year’s perspectives and presentations from the event here.
The future of Europe’s digital sovereignty is at a critical juncture. The decisions and collaborations formed today will shape the digital landscape of tomorrow. This is not just another industry event—it’s an unprecedented opportunity to engage with the key players, policymakers, and innovators who are actively shaping the future of cloud sovereignty in Europe. Hear from legislators and policymakers driving regulation and engage in the conversation to determine what’s next and how to prepare.
