About
Amid intensifying geopolitical tensions, Europe is accelerating its drive toward digital sovereignty. Technology providers, enterprises, and public institutions are being reshaped by the continent's push for technological independence supported by an expanding regulatory framework that now spans the DMA, DSA, GDPR, NIS2, and upcoming European cybersecurity initiatives.
This keynote examines how these developments are redefining the landscape for collaboration platforms and File Sync & Share solutions technologies that sit at the core of modern productivity and information security.
We will explore what the next generation of collaboration software must deliver to thrive in this environment: decentralised and federated architectures, robust Open Source ecosystems, privacy respecting AI by design, transparent data flows, and open standards that empower organisations rather than lock them in.
Attendees will gain a behind-the-scenes perspective on how European tech policy is shaping the future of digital collaboration along with insights and lessons learned from more than 16 years of building Open Source collaboration technologies.
