Digital sovereignty is not a theoretical ideal, but a practical task that requires active shaping. In this masterclass, we’ll use concrete project examples to show how organizations can analyze their own sovereignty implications, derive target visions and roadmaps, and make informed decisions regarding data, workloads, and cloud services. Building on this, we’ll provide an overview of the specific challenges involved in procuring sovereign IT solutions. We’ll clarify which organizational capabilities are required, where real dependencies arise, and how trade-offs between control, innovation, and cost-effectiveness can be managed in practice.
