Digital sovereignty is now a business decision. Join us at STUDIO Malmö on 22 September to explore what it means for your organisation.

OpenTech Talks****:**** Europe's New Tech Landscape

Digital sovereignty is no longer a question for the future. It is a business decision, an infrastructure decision, and a competitive one, being made right now across Europe.

As geopolitical shifts reshape the global tech landscape, organisations in Skåne are facing a question that can no longer be deferred: what happens when the systems we depend on are controlled by someone else?

At this OpenTech Talks, we bring together perspectives on what sovereignty means in practice, and what your organisation can do about it today.
