Europe has long been a powerhouse of innovation, but much of its digital infrastructure still depends on non-European platforms. Digital sovereignty is not about isolation, but about ensuring flexibility, resilience, and trust—so European innovators can build, choose, and evolve on their own terms. By investing in smart autonomy, custom software, and trusted infrastructure, Europe can turn regulation into a competitive advantage and lead the next wave of global innovation. In this session you will learn:

• How to identify where digital dependence is healthy and where it creates hidden risks.
• How to leverage Europe’s strengths in cloud, privacy, and cybersecurity to drive innovation.
• How to use custom software as a strategic tool for compliance, resilience, and competitive advantage.
• How to turn “smart autonomy” into global opportunity rather than digital isolation.
