Pathways to Tech Sovereignty – An Allied Perspective
Tech sovereignty is no longer only a policy debate. It is already shaping security architecture, supply chain decisions and term sheets.
Shortly after the signing of the Greenland agreement with the United States, Denmark's Ambassador to the US, Jesper Møller Sørensen, comes to San Francisco for a candid conversation about what sovereignty means for allies on both sides of the Atlantic.
The conversation
Three perspectives on one question: how do allies build technology they can trust, together?
Government: Ambassador Jesper Møller Sørensen, Denmark's Ambassador to the United States
Enterprise security: Marc Benoit, Chief Information Security Officer, Palo Alto Networks
VC: Steve Jacobs, Founding Partner at Drumbeat Capital
The discussion looks at where transatlantic collaboration can make technology supply chains more resilient, and at what governments, companies and investors can do now to turn sovereignty into a shared advantage.
