The demand for digital sovereignty has gained momentum. And rightly so! Given the geopolitical situation companies are asking themselves what risks their dependence on BigTech entails. And more importantly: "Is there an alternative?" This is exactly what we want to find out at our next event in the IT'S ABOUT TECH series, co-hosted by MDPI AG.

Join us on December 9, starting at 4:30 p.m. in Basel, when experts will present their solutions and discuss possible strategies and concepts for regaining digital sovereignty.
