In a world dominated by the tech giants of the US and China, Europe is facing the challenge of shaping its own digital future. Francesca Bria presents the idea of EuroStack – a European technology infrastructure that focuses on openness, sustainability and independence. The lecture highlights how European values such as data protection, innovation and democratic control can be strengthened by building up our own digital capacities. Based on concrete approaches and initiatives, she explains how the EuroStack not only enables technological progress but also strengthens economic resilience and political sovereignty. This lecture invites a fishbowl with other high-ranking guests discussion moderated by Robert Peter: Is the EuroStack the key strategy for a sustainable and self-determined digital future for Europe? And if the answer is yes, who do we get there?
