As organizations across Europe continue to advance their cloud transformations, they are navigating an increasingly complex landscape shaped by evolving regulatory expectations, heightened requirements for data sovereignty, and heterogeneous operational realities across cloud environments. At the same time, fundamental concepts such as sovereignty, data control, and trust are often interpreted differently by regulators, technology providers, and enterprise teams - creating critical “lost in translation” moments that can slow progress and introduce uncertainty.

This session highlights how organizations can bring clarity to these gaps by establishing a unified, governance‑driven approach to cloud sovereignty. We explore how identity, access governance, and policy‑driven controls form the strategic foundation for securing data, enabling compliant cloud operations, and fostering trusted collaboration across ecosystems.

Participants will gain practical guidance on aligning cloud architecture with regulatory requirements, strengthening identity as a core pillar of digital sovereignty, and enabling innovation with confidence - without compromising on control, compliance, or trust.
