What is the event about?
DIVE Brussels – Digital Sovereignty explores how digital sovereignty
is shaping Europe’s digital economy, industrial competitiveness and innovation landscape.
The event brings together stakeholders from the Brussels ecosystem to discuss how Europe
can strengthen its position in key technology areas.
From an industrial perspective, digital sovereignty raises important questions:
What does it mean for companies and value chains? How is it shaping businesses across
different technology sectors? And what opportunities and challenges lie ahead as digital
technologies continue to evolve?
Through keynote contributions from leading representatives of Austrian industry and the
technology sector, the event will address digital sovereignty from different industrial
perspectives, including semiconductors, software, digital infrastructure and connected
mobility.
