Digital Resilience in a fragmenting world
For founders and investors navigating AI, geopolitics, and technological sovereignty.
How resilient is your company, really?
European growth companies are increasingly built on US infrastructure, tools, and capital. At the same time, AI is accelerating dependency on a small number of global platforms, while geopolitics and regulation are pushing in the opposite direction.
So where does that leave founders and investors?
Are European companies too dependent on US tech?
Is digital sovereignty real or just political narrative?
Will resilience become a valuation driver in M&A?
Lab08 & Mazanti-Andersen are bringing together a curated group of founders and investors for an afternoon focused on how these questions are already shaping real decisions inside growth companies and investment firms.
