Staying in Control in the Age of the EU Data Act, AI & Data Sovereignty
Data has become one of the most valuable strategic assets for technology-driven companies. Beyond compliance, the way organisations collect, govern, share and protect their data increasingly shapes their capacity to innovate, create value and remain competitive.
How can businesses stay in control of their data while unlocking its full potential? What does data sovereignty really mean in practice? And how are the EU Data Act, GDPR and emerging AI regulations reshaping the way organisations manage and leverage their data?
This afternoon conference brings together legal experts, technology specialists and industry leaders to explore these questions through complementary perspectives, combining technical insights, legal expertise and real-world business experiences.
The programme features keynote presentations alongside an interactive panel discussion with companies from the manufacturing and software sectors, sharing concrete challenges and lessons learned from managing strategic data assets.
Whether you're leading product innovation, defining data governance, building digital infrastructure or navigating regulatory frameworks, you'll leave with practical insights, valuable connections and a clearer vision of how to turn data into a lasting competitive advantage.
Organised jointly by Sirris and The POD, this event brings together industry, software companies, researchers and innovation leaders to foster meaningful conversations and strengthen collaboration across the Belgian digital ecosystem.
