Europe relies heavily on technologies developed and controlled beyond its borders. From cloud infrastructure and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity and critical systems, this reliance raises important questions about economic competitiveness, security and strategic autonomy.

But where are the biggest vulnerabilities? What would it take for Europe to regain control over its technological future?

Bringing together experts from cybersecurity, venture capital, corporate investment and deep tech, this panel examines the challenges and opportunities of digital sovereignty from different industry perspectives. The discussion will explore how businesses, investors and policymakers can address existing dependencies, strengthen European innovation and turn the ambition of greater autonomy into concrete action.
