Join ecoDa and EY Center for Board Matters on 20 October for a webinar exploring what Europe’s push for technological sovereignty means for boards and businesses.
💡 The session will examine the European Technological Sovereignty Package and the broader shift from policy to business expectations. It will explore how boards can understand and manage exposure to critical digital dependencies – from cloud infrastructure, AI systems and data flows to software supply chains, cybersecurity and geopolitical disruption.
The discussion will also focus on the questions boards are asking, the challenges they face, and what good practice looks like when it comes to assessing digital autonomy and resilience.
The session will feature:
🔹 Lisette Ens, EY Parthenon Partner specialising in digital sovereignty
🔹 Dr. Milena HARITO, non-executive board member experienced in digital sovereignty
🔹 Andrew Hobbs, EY Center for Board Matters Leader (EMEIA)
🔹 European Commission expert
Together, they will share perspectives from the policy and boardroom levels and discuss how boards can approach digital sovereignty as part of their wider resilience, risk and strategic agenda.
