Webcast Digital Sovereignty

Webcast Digital Sovereignty
  • Event
  • June 04, 2026

For many organisations, reliance on global cloud providers is a given. At the same time, this dependency is increasingly becoming a prominent topic of discussion in the boardroom. In this context, the focus is not solely on technology, but above all on control. Which dependencies are acceptable? When are additional safeguards required? And how can control be maintained without unnecessarily limiting innovation and scalability? 


During this webcast, we will explore the practical implications of digital sovereignty for executives, risk leaders and technology decision-makers. Drawing on current developments and real-world examples, we will examine how organisations can gain insight into — and effectively manage — their dependencies. 

We will cover, among other topics:

  • how organisations navigate their dependence on cloud providers
  • which risks and considerations play a role in decision-making
  • how to strike the right balance between innovation, compliance and control
