Building European Infrastructure for Cloud and AI Factories
European and open source software to manage sovereign digital infrastructures
Europe is redefining what technological sovereignty means. It is no longer enough for data to be in Europe or for a software solution to be open source: who develops, controls, and operates the software managing the infrastructure also matters. Discover how to prepare your organization for this new scenario using open, interoperable, and European platforms.
About This Event
Europe is moving toward a new model of digital sovereignty that will transform how cloud and AI infrastructures are built and operated.
At this event, you will learn about real-world experiences from companies, public administrations, and technology providers. We will analyze the impact of the upcoming Cloud and AI Development Act (CADA) and discuss how open, European technologies can reduce tech dependency and strengthen digital autonomy.
For years, many European organizations have built their infrastructure on technologies developed outside of Europe. Today, there is an opportunity to foster an open, interoperable, and European ecosystem.
