Cloud Sovereignty in Europe: From Dependency to Strategic Control
Europe’s cloud choices are no longer just technical.
They’re legal, strategic, and geopolitical.
US hyperscalers still dominate European infrastructure — but data sovereignty, compliance pressure, and vendor lock-in are forcing a rethink.
In this session, we cut through the noise and focus on what cloud sovereignty actually means in practice — and how European businesses can regain control without sacrificing scale or performance.
We’ll cover:
What “cloud sovereignty” really means (beyond data residency)
Hidden risks of relying on US cloud providers
When EU, sovereign, or hybrid cloud models make sense
Practical architecture patterns to reduce lock-in
For CTOs, CIOs, founders, and tech leaders shaping long-term cloud strategy.
