Keynote Talk (with Krijn de Mik): Digital Sovereignty: Europe’s Opportunity to Redefine the Game

Europe plays a central role in the global cyber threat landscape, yet its vast security-relevant data and intelligence remain underutilized. While many European organizations rely on external — particularly American — platforms for threat intelligence, the continent holds the capability and strategic interest to develop a sovereign, collaborative ecosystem of its own. This keynote will examine how Europe can strengthen its cyber resilience and achieve greater strategic autonomy by leveraging existing assets, encouraging structured information sharing among public institutions, and fostering deeper public-private partnerships. The goal is not isolation, but empowerment — enabling Europe to act as a digital power on the global stage.
