This session brings together academic and industry perspectives on one of the most pressing geopolitical and cybersecurity challenges of our time: Europe's technological dependence, and what it means for our digital security.

‍

Jake Wright will map the full landscape of China's open-source ecosystem and its global impact, exploring what Chinese technology alternatives mean for European sovereignty and how the EU can use its regulatory and market power to build a secure, performant and open digital economy.

Francisco Dominguez, security expert at Hunt & Hackett, then translates that geopolitical picture into concrete cyber risk by diving into China's cyber ecosystem and how European organisations can use threat intelligence to understand and defend against this threat.
