This isn’t just another conference — it’s where innovation meets opportunity and strategic tech partnerships are born.

Talk: Sovereign Cloud by Design - Why Europe's Digital Future Starts Right Now

Time: July 2, 2-2:20PM

Speaker: Dr. Heiner Genzken

We currently live in a highly advanced digital home. Yet the keys belong to others, the rent keeps rising, and non-compliance may result in a “digital eviction.” Europe is caught in an innovation trap: we consume standardized solutions from overseas while our own digital value creation stagnates and billions are drained away in hidden “technology taxes.” Is Europe’s digital sovereignty nothing more than wishful thinking?

Quite the opposite.

In this talk, Heiner looks behind the scenes of the global technology stack and reveals a surprising truth: without European high-tech, from laser optics made in Germany to mask writers engineered in Austria, not a single high-end chip would fall off the production line in the US, Israel, or Asia. Europe is not off the map; we have simply forgotten how to put the puzzle pieces together to create a new reality. And sovereignty doesn’t come for free, it needs to be earned.
