The international landscape is changing rapidly and thoroughly. Geopolitical tension, shifting trade alliances, and rapid advances in AI are reshaping global business priorities. For many organizations, questions of digital sovereignty—who controls your data, where it lives, and how it’s governed—have moved from theory to boardroom priority.
As reliance on hyperscalers and cross-border data flows grows, so do concerns around compliance, resilience, and independence. In fact, according to IDC, more than 80% of organizations say they are either currently using sovereign cloud solutions or plan to use them in 2025. However, definitions and strategies vary widely.
Join thought leaders from Fujitsu and AWS, along with a group of likeminded peers, for this exclusive Meet the Boss Roundtable. We’ll explore what digital sovereignty really means today: the balance between innovation and control, security and scalability, global reach and local accountability. Together, we’ll discuss how to chart a sovereignty journey that protects your business, without slowing its progress.
