Europe stands at a defining moment. The U.S, China and others are racing ahead with hyperscale AI, nuclear‑powered megacampuses, and vertically integrated digital ecosystems. Europe’s path ahead will see key choices, to see if it can carve out a sovereign digital future of its own and move away from reliance on external technology, capital, and compute. The question is no longer theoretical, as Europe’s competitiveness and geopolitical autonomy hinges on the decisions made in the next five years.
Join Europe’s most influential policymakers, operators, and investors to consider:
- What is Europe’s path to a self‑sufficient digital backbone spanning AI infrastructure, energy, supply chains, and sovereign compute?
- Can Europe turn the AI Act, InvestEU, and sovereign cloud frameworks into a coherent industrial model?
- Can Europe build a competitive advantage through precision‑engineered, high‑spec data centers, instead of chasing hyperscale volume?
