Central to Europe&#8217;s quest for increased digital autonomy is the concept of cloud sovereignty. This initiative aims to foster innovation, ensure data sovereignty within Europe, and enhance the resilience and global competitiveness of European businesses.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #1b3f66;\">This event will delve into the progress Europe is making towards establishing sovereign cloud services. It will particularly focus on the current and anticipated legislative developments, including the enforcement of existing rules, such as the Data Act. The conference will feature insights from various European industries, highlighting the development of interoperability standards and the portability of cloud services across European borders. It will also explore how industry and government can collaborate to advance and deploy next-generation cloud technologies. It will look at the latest cybersecurity challenges associated with the widespread adoption of sovereign cloud solutions, and the need to balance digital sovereignty with the benefits of global collaboration in cloud technology innovation.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4e14a57 elementor-widget

We look at how sovereignty drivers have created both a compelling set of needs across countries and industries, and the challenges we face today in terms of locking down a firm basis for delivery. To address this, we set out the core pillars of a sovereign cloud strategy, working across technical, strategy, and practice-based needs within the organisation and across the ecosystem as a whole.<\/p>\n                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                            <div class=\"row artist-row mobile\" data-effect=\"mfp-zoom-in\">\r\n                                                            <div class=\"tcode-artist-popover hidden\">\r\n                                                                <div>\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"row\">\r\n                                                                        <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-4\">\r\n                                                                            <div class=\"artist-image center-block\">\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive center-block\" alt=\"Sovereign Cloud, from Mirage to Epiphany image\" src=\"https:\/\/sovereign-cloud.eu.com\/2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/1-120x120.png\" \/>\r\n                                                                                                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                <\/div>\r\n                                                                        <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-8 artist-details-container\">\r\n                                                                            <div class=\"tcode-es-artist-title\">\r\n                                                                                <a href=\"#\">\r\n                                                                                    Jon Collins                                                                                <\/a>\r\n                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                            <div class=\"artist-position\">\r\n                                                                                    VP of Engagement, GigaOm                                                                                <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                        <div class=\"artist-content\">\r\n                                                                                <p>Jon Collins is VP of Engagement and Field CTO for GigaOm.

We look at how sovereignty drivers have created both a compelling set of needs across countries and industries, and the challenges we face today in terms of locking down a firm basis for delivery. To address this, we set out the core pillars of a sovereign cloud strategy, working across technical, strategy, and practice-based needs within the organisation and across the ecosystem as a whole.<\/p>\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                    <div class=\"row artist-row\" data-effect=\"mfp-zoom-in\">\r\n                                                    <div class=\"tcode-artist-popover hidden\">\r\n                                                        <div>\r\n                                                            <div class=\"row\">\r\n                                                                <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-4\">\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"artist-image center-block\">\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive center-block\" alt=\"Sovereign Cloud, from Mirage to Epiphany image\" src=\"https:\/\/sovereign-cloud.eu.com\/2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/1-120x120.png\" \/>\r\n                                                                                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                                <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-8 artist-details-container\">\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"tcode-es-artist-title\">\r\n                                                                        <a href=\"#\">\r\n                                                                            Jon Collins                                                                        <\/a>\r\n                                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                            <div class=\"artist-position\">\r\n                                                                            VP of Engagement, GigaOm                                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                        <div class=\"artist-content\">\r\n                                                                        <p>Jon Collins is VP of Engagement and Field CTO for GigaOm.

We have been organising policy conferences in Brussels and around Europe since 1989. Our events provide unique insights from the people behind the policy and those seeking to influence it. Our expert team develop conference programmes with impact and provide first-class event logistics. Forum Europe is more than an event management and conference production specialist. With offices in Brussels and the UK, we operate across Europe and globally. Through our international arm, Forum Global, our events cover five continents, and engage policymakers and industry at national and regional levels around the world. Our mission is to drill down to the issues that matter, creating policy events that are ahead of the curve, facilitating frank and open debate on some of the most pressing issues facing Europe and the world today.
