Over the past year, Europe has made significant strides toward digital sovereignty, both politically and technologically. This talk examines the key developments in Identity & Access Management (IAM), from regulatory milestones like eIDAS 2 and NIS2 to innovations in privacy-by-design architectures and federated cloud models. Participants will learn why European IAM solutions are increasingly trustworthy, how organizations can leverage them, and how IAM leaders can turn digital sovereignty into a strategic advantage that balances innovation, compliance, and security.
