Digital sovereignty today does not mean self-sufficiency. Rather, it describes the ability to remain capable of acting despite technological dependencies. What matters, therefore, is not whether dependencies exist, but which ones companies should consciously accept, manage or reduce.
In this episode of KPMG RealTalk, experts from business, technology, regulation and the public sector come together to translate this often abstract debate into concrete decision-making questions for you. We examine the topic from the following four perspectives:
- Providers & Infrastructure
How companies can remain innovative whilst working with cloud and platform partners, whilst at the same time ensuring control over data flows and operating models. - Business practice
Where real scope for decision-making lies amidst the tension between cost pressures, the pursuit of efficiency and the risks of lock-in, and which dependencies should be consciously accepted. - Public sector
Why the state’s ability to act, democratic control and administrative modernisation can only succeed with new cooperation and governance models. - EU Regulation
Which legal frameworks Europe has already established, and where corporate initiative is still absolutely essential to implement digital sovereignty in a legally sound manner.
As part of this episode, you will also gain access to an interactive Quick Check that allows you to assess where your organisation stands in terms of digital sovereignty.
