II Focus Series: #5 Focus on digital sovereignty & hyperscalers

The fifth part of the online series in collaboration with Cyberintelligence Institute (CII) and the Netzwerk Digital of the German-Hungarian Chamber of Industry and Commerce focuses on digital sovereignty & hyperscalers. Technological independence – pipe dream or competitive advantage?

Technological independence has become a strategic priority for many organizations. However, turning this ambition into reality requires careful consideration of existing dependencies, cost structures, and operational realities.

This online event takes a practical, business-focused look at why digital sovereignty has become a strategic priority — and why it matters to organizations of all sizes and across all industries. It demonstrates how companies can turn digital sovereignty into a tangible competitive advantage by systematically strengthening their digital autonomy.

Participants will learn how to identify critical dependencies in supply chains and cloud infrastructures, enhance governance frameworks, optimize procurement strategies, and implement appropriate contractual safeguards. In addition, the session explores alternative technological approaches that can increase independence while supporting efficient day-to-day operations.

Prof. Dr. Dennis-Kenji Kipker, one of the leading minds in cyber security and Founder of the cyberintelligence.institute in Frankfurt am Main, will provide strategic insights, practical examples, and concrete recommendations for strengthening digital sovereignty within organizations and companies.
