Invite-only Event at Abtion

Digital independence in practice – European choices in an American tech world"

Date

30 October 2025

Place

Abtion
Vesterbrogade 40, 2. th
1620 Copenhagen

Europe wants digital independence from US tech corps – but what does that mean in practice for the technology choices we make?

In a time of rising geopolitical tension and growing reliance on American tech giants like Microsoft, Amazon, and Google, many companies are asking: Is there an alternative?

This invite-only event explores how European organizations can gain more control over their technology stack, reduce dependence on closed U.S. infrastructure, and move toward a more open, flexible, and future-proof architecture — without compromising on quality, security, or scalability.

We’ll discuss topics such as:
- What does digital sovereignty actually look like in real-world tech decisions?
- The pros and cons of moving away from closed platforms like .NET and Azure
- How open source, modern frameworks, and cloud-agnostic infrastructure enable freedom and flexibility
- Real-world examples of companies that have taken a more independent path — and why
