Global Chief of Software EngineeringDigital sovereignty is rising to the forefront of organisational priorities as digital ecosystems grow more complex. Cloud platforms power essential operations and the latest AI development, yet growing dependencies and geopolitical tensions are raising concerns over control of data and digital capabilities. As these pressures intensify, sovereignty is becoming a crucial lens for assessing resilience, competitiveness, and long-term strategic autonomy.
Our new guide with The W.I.R.E, an independent thinktank, challenges the conventional view of digital sovereignty as a compliance exercise. It argues that sovereignty is quickly becoming a strategic battleground, one that will determine who shapes value, who controls intelligence flows, and who maintains agency in an increasingly fragmented digital order.
If you want to lead rather than react in this new era of digital sovereignty, now is the moment to act. Download the guide to understand the emerging trajectories and the strategic moves leaders must make now.
