Guest Keynote: Industrial Intelligence & Digital Sovereignty: A European Reframing for the AI Era
Monday, 16 November, 2026 / 04:30 PM - 05:15 PM GMT
About the Session
As AI industrialization accelerates, digital sovereignty is shifting beyond data residency and compliance to the physical foundations of AI: energy, compute, and silicon. Nina Schick challenges conventional thinking, arguing that sovereignty in the AI era is increasingly measured in gigawatts and fabs, not just bytes and regulation. Examining Europe's dependence on global technology and supply chains, she explores the strategic and operational risks facing large enterprises, from compute availability and supply security to AI resilience. This session provides I&O leaders with practical guidance for building resilient AI architectures in an increasingly complex geopolitical landscape.
