Europe’s regulatory environment does not have to slow AI innovation—but it does require enterprises and providers to rethink how AI is governed and deployed. This session cuts through the binary debate between European providers and hyperscalers, showing why the future is more likely to involve a strategic combination of both. Attendees will explore how workload, risk, sovereignty and control requirements should determine technology and partner choices rather than geography alone. The session will provide practical guidance for shaping deals, building the right ecosystem and turning sovereign AI from a regulatory challenge into a strategic opportunity.
