Digital sovereignty
A country's or an organisation's ability to keep control of its data, its tools and its dependencies.
Digital sovereignty means controlling your data, your infrastructure and your technology choices, without depending at all costs on foreign players. It does not mean doing everything yourself, but keeping control of your dependencies and the associated risks. In concrete terms: where the data is hosted, which laws it is subject to, what happens if a supplier disappears.
