Executive Breakfast: Sovereign AI, Cloud Strategy & Geopolitical Risk

AI is becoming critical business infrastructure, but innovation alone is no longer enough. Organizations must also navigate increasing regulatory requirements, data sovereignty concerns, and geopolitical uncertainty. Join Futurice and UpCloud for an executive breakfast in Stockholm where technology, security, compliance, and business leaders will discuss how these developments are reshaping AI governance and cloud strategy across Europe.

Event banner for "Navigating sovereign cloud & geo-political risks" hosted by UpCloud and Futurice on 19.8.2026 in Stockholm.

From AI ambition to AI resilience

Many organizations are asking the same questions:

How will evolving regulations impact our AI strategy? What does cloud sovereignty mean in practice? How exposed are we to geopolitical and supplier-related risks? How can we assess our organization's readiness?

During this breakfast, you'll gain practical insights from experts and peers and see a demonstration of a Sovereign AI Readiness Assessment that helps organizations identify potential gaps across governance, cloud architecture, data sovereignty, and regulatory readiness.
