Be independent or be controlled - discover what digital sovereignty realistically looks like
The global political situation has changed - and with it the rules of the game for Swiss IT strategies. What was still an academic debate a few years ago is now a top priority: the Federal Council has made digital sovereignty a strategic focus topic for 2026. Parliamentary initiatives are piling up and uncertainty is growing in companies and organizations.
However, as soon as politics and technology come together, facts mix with ideology. Some demand radical independence, while others believe that dependency is inevitable. The truth lies - as so often - in between.
At the Cloud Talk on May 20, 2026, we ask: Where does Switzerland really stand? And what does this mean for your organization in concrete terms?
Discuss the key questions with us:
- When does dependency become a strategic risk - and how do you recognize this point?
- How do you weigh up the costs/benefits of digital sovereignty?
- Where is open source a real lever - and where is it a fig leaf?
Find out from real experts who have been working intensively on the topic for some time what facts need to be considered, which ideologies can lead to wrong decisions at best and how best to argue and deal with the topic of digital sovereignty.
Join us and take your knowledge of digital sovereignty to the next level. Afterwards there will be an aperitif and an opportunity to network.
