Cloud, AI and Quantum: Europe's Path to Digital Sovereignty

Europe’s digital future depends on its ability to combine cloud, AI, and emerging quantum technologies with strategic autonomy. In this keynote, Lars Neumann argues that digital sovereignty is not about isolation, but about choice, control, and resilience. He explores how sovereign cloud infrastructures, secure connectivity, and open multi-cloud architectures enable organizations to adopt AI at scale while retaining control over their data and technology decisions. Looking ahead, he outlines how European collaboration and investment can create the foundation for innovation, competitiveness, and long-term digital independence.
