SPOTLIGHT SESSION
Sovereignty Spotlight: EU Regulations and the Global Impact of Open Source
Wednesday August 27 | 11:00 - 11:40 CEST | D202 (Elicium Level 2)
David Szegedi, Principal Chief Architect, Field CTO Organization
Stefan Bergstein, Principal Chief Architect, Field CTO Organization, Red Hat
Navigating the impact of a rapidly evolving regulatory environment on your organisation? Us too.
In this talk, we will take a fast-paced tour through the shifting EU regulatory landscape - covering key acts like DORA, EUCS, the CRA, and the AI Act - and unpack what they mean for technology adoption and governance.
We will then dive into the critical role of open source software in enabling transparency, trust, and digital sovereignty. Expect a focus on practical concepts like traceability, digital signing, and how they underpin sovereign platforms.
