Digital Sovereignty in the Age of AI: Building the Hybrid Infrastructure That Inspires Confidence
Sponsorisé par
From Regulatory Pressure to Striking the Right Balance Between Innovation and Risk Management
Regulation, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence are reshaping enterprise cloud strategy today, rewriting the rules for IT architecture along the way. The market’s signal is unmistakable: according to IDC, 40% of European organizations already use sovereign cloud in 2025, and 56% have folded it into their multicloud and hybrid strategy. Yet here’s the real turning point — only 12% of organizations still train their generative AI models exclusively on public cloud.
Sovereignty, compliance, and resilience are no longer just checkboxes. They’re strategic imperatives now, and every CIO has to find their own balance between innovation, risk management, and operational performance. The conclusion is clear: hybrid infrastructure is becoming the standard for taking back control, security, and governance.
Executive Peer-to-Peer Discussions
In a strictly confidential, deliberately small setting, this evening brings together CIOs, CTOs, and senior IT decision-makers facing the same challenges you are, alongside experts from IDC, DXC Technology, and Dell Technologies. This isn’t a large conference: no sales pitches, no imposed slide decks, just a conversation among peers at the same level of responsibility, grounded in real trade-offs and operational experience.
Session Focus Areas
AI is expanding, regulation is shifting, and sovereignty is under pressure: your infrastructure needs to evolve fast to reconcile innovation, security, and agility.
- Regain control — digital sovereignty, compliance, and governance of sensitive data
- Architect for hybrid — environments built for your critical workloads and AI projects
- Modernize without compromise — transform your IT infrastructure and eliminate technical debt
- Secure what matters most — strengthen resilience, security, and service continuity
- Plan for scale — evolving platforms, ready for tomorrow’s AI use cases
The evening alternates between expert insights and interactive peer discussion, with one rule: direct conversation, no filter.
Why you should Attend?
Here’s what you’ll walk away with:
- A peer network — connect with CIOs, CTOs, and senior IT decision-makers facing the same sovereignty, cloud modernization, and AI adoption challenges
- A clear perspective — understand how the most advanced organizations balance innovation, compliance, and risk management
- Proven practices — learn how to build secure, resilient hybrid architectures
- Practical levers — identify how to reduce technical debt and speed up your AI projects’ journey to production
- A plan of action — leave with actionable insights to build a trusted, scalable infrastructure that’s ready for tomorrow’s AI use cases
