Governments are setting the tone for digital sovereignty. Our opening session will examine the UK government’s policy direction, strategic priorities and regulatory approaches, and will explore where telecoms networks and operators fit into the national vision. It will then compare this to other nations and identify commonalities. Panellists will discuss how telcos can support resilience, security and innovation while navigating an evolving policy landscape.

Featuring:

• Dominic Laurie, Senior Director Corporate Communications, SUSE
