Agenda

AI for Tech Sessions: From principle to practice: Scaling sovereign AI through strategic alliance

Artificial intelligence is no longer just a tool for efficiency; it has become a catalyst for reinvention with profound implications for economic growth. Its immense potential brings unprecedented opportunities for transformation but also introduces new and complex risks.

In this context, the concept of sovereign AI is gaining strategic importance: from securing access to critical data, to protecting strategic interests, and building the right foundations — from skilled talent to resilient infrastructure and robust governance frameworks.

This panel will bring together leaders from institutions, technology companies, and enterprises to explore how collaboration and strategic partnerships can turn the ambition of digital sovereignty into tangible impact. Through dialogue and shared experiences, the discussion will highlight how new competencies, and responsible innovation can become key enablers of trust, competitiveness, and sustainable progress in the AI era.
