Digital sovereignty for the UK and beyond

Panel Discussion

This session examines the UK government’s policy direction, strategic priorities and regulatory approaches, and explores where telecom networks and operators fit into the national vision. It then compares this to other nations to identify commonalities. Panellists also discuss how telcos can support resilience, security and innovation while navigating an evolving policy landscape.
