Watch a recording of our on-site event with UpCloud, where we explored the evolving landscape of digital sovereignty and cloud transformation. This event is designed for a selected group of decision makers, CIOs, CTOs, Heads of IT, Risk, and Compliance, who are navigating the challenges and opportunities of cloud adoption in a rapidly changing regulatory environment.

Geopolitical turbulence and new regulations are reshaping how organisations manage data, operations, and compliance. The demand for control, autonomy, and trusted cloud solutions has never been greater. At this event, you’ll gain insights from leading experts, discover actionable strategies for your organisation, and connect with peers facing similar challenges.

Watch event recording to learn how to assess your cloud readiness, build a risk-based roadmap, and unlock the full potential of sovereign cloud, supported by advisory, strategic, and managed services from Solita and our partner UpCloud.

Why data ownership and European digital infrastructure matter now

Europe stands at a turning point. As geopolitical tensions rise and technological dependency deepens, the question of what sovereignty means in the digital era has never been more urgent. Member of Parliament Atte Harjanne explores why Europe must rethink the foundations of its digital resilience, from who owns data to how we build and govern critical digital infrastructure.

Drawing on his experience in security and technology policy, Harjanne offers a clear, compelling vision for strengthening Europe’s capacity to act independently and responsibly in a rapidly shifting technological landscape
