2:00–13:00 CET — Can Europe achieve tech sovereignty?
Europe boasts none of the major social media or digital platforms, leaving critical infrastructure and information flows in the hands of foreign powers. Meanwhile, the U.S. and China, the current leaders in digital technology, are increasingly diverging from the values of information integrity and democratic governance.
Join us to explore why Europe must assert its own tech and information sovereignty. From policy and regulation to innovation and infrastructure, these experts will examine how Europe can reclaim control over its digital future, protect democratic norms, and ensure that its citizens have access to trustworthy, accountable information.
