As a part of a 2-day festival, Maria 01 NEXT Startup Festival, we invite you to join us for the panel discussion on Europe's digital sovereignty.
Europe is at an important moment in shaping its digital future. As cloud infrastructure, data, AI and other critical technologies become increasingly central to how companies build and scale, questions around digital sovereignty are becoming more relevant for startups and businesses alike.
What does digital sovereignty mean for European companies in practice? And could Europe’s approach to technology, infrastructure and regulation become not only a challenge to navigate, but an opportunity to build and lead?
Join us for a panel discussion bringing together perspectives from the European startup and technology ecosystem. We’ll explore why digital sovereignty is becoming an increasingly important topic, what it means for companies building modern cloud-native products, and where Europe has an opportunity to shape the future of digital infrastructure.
