Digital sovereignty requires more than reducing dependency. It requires effective control over the technologies and infrastructure Europe depends on.

Openly governed technologies like OpenStack and Kubernetes provide a foundation for that control, enabling organizations to operate, adapt, and participate in creating critical infrastructure without dependence on a single vendor or a single country. In this keynote, Thierry Carrez will explore how OpenInfra, Linux Foundation Europe, and NeoNephos can build on these global technology commons to strengthen Europe’s sovereign cloud ecosystem.

By participating more actively in open technologies, open governance, and the communities behind them, Europe can achieve greater technological agency without retreating from global collaboration.
