Digital Sovereignty: Balancing Control, Innovation, and AI

Digital sovereignty is rapidly becoming a core priority as organizations seek greater control over data, infrastructure, and critical systems while continuing to innovate. Open source is playing an increasingly important role in this shift, offering greater transparency, flexibility, and control. This panel brings together perspectives from technology, consulting, finance, and the public sector to explore how sovereignty is being defined and implemented across industries. Panelists will discuss key challenges such as regulatory pressure, cloud strategy, vendor dependency, and the growing role of AI—particularly around data governance, model control, and where AI systems are developed and deployed. The session will highlight how different industries are approaching digital sovereignty in practice, sharing perspectives on how they are strengthening resilience, ensuring compliance, and unlocking new opportunities through open technologies and collaborative innovation
