Looking Back: Summit on European Digital Sovereignty

In 2025, the Digital Summit took place as the “Summit on European Digital Sovereignty.” The goal of the European Digital Summit on November 18, 2025, held at the EUREF Campus in Berlin, was to further develop key aspects of an independent, secure, and innovation-friendly digital future for Europe. The German federal government and the French national government, together with the other EU member states, are committed to strengthening Europe’s digital sovereignty.
