Tackling the Complexities of Digital Sovereignty in Europe
What are the priorities for business leaders, governments and policy makers for strengthening digital sovereignty in the EU?
The need for effective sovereignty, security and governance is growing in urgency as the volume of data increases and as geopolitical and cyber risks escalate. Consumers have high expectations of how their information should be handled and protected. European governments and regulators are working to advance policies and legislation to keep pace with the challenges posed by new technologies and security threats. Compliance and the ability to have more control over data are viewed as strategic imperatives for business and public entities who are seeking to accelerate digital transformation and safeguard data privacy and security. The momentum of major tech companies continues to fuel debate around the issue of trust and the role of US cloud providers in the new sovereignty environment.
What do emerging policies and legislation mean for CEOs and their teams? How can businesses, organisations and individuals gain greater control over their data? What part can cloud providers play in digital sovereignty and security, and what are the legal constraints?
The Financial Times, in partnership with Google Cloud, is hosting this half-day hybrid event for EU policymakers as well as business and public sector leaders responsible for data governance and security. Join the debate on how to navigate the complexity of digital sovereignty while benefiting from technology and supporting economic growth.
