As global alliances and partnerships evolve, European governments are reflecting on their technology dependencies and seeking to ensure their systems remain resilient and secure. Digital and tech sovereignty have moved to the centre of policy debates, yet there is no shared definition of what these concepts mean in practice, nor consensus on how to act on them. This session will explore how transatlantic and global cyber partnerships are adapting to a changing landscape, what digital sovereignty means in practice and what concrete steps governments and industry can take to strengthen cooperation, enhance resilience and maintain a secure and interoperable cyberspace.
