The summit aims to bring together industry leaders, policymakers, and innovators to discuss strategies that empower SMEs to enhance their technological capabilities. Participants will explore how fostering local talent and resources can reduce dependence on foreign technology and promote a more resilient digital economy.
Discussions will also highlight the importance of collaboration among SMEs, governments, and research institutions to create an ecosystem that supports innovation and sustainable growth. As Europe navigates the challenges of a rapidly changing digital world, the emphasis on technology sovereignty has never been more crucial. The outcomes of the summit could shape the future of Europe’s digital landscape, ensuring that it remains competitive and secure.
