We’re closing the day with an important question: what role can public initiatives play in advancing digital sovereignty in Europe?

Our closing keynote features Leandro Higueruela Jaroso, Deputy Assistant Director of the Artificial Intelligence Governance and Planning Division at the Ministry for Digital Transformation and the Civil Service.

A big thank you to Leandro for sharing what’s on Spain’s agenda for digital sovereignty and the opportunities it can create for organizations 👏

Digital sovereignty is a big ambition for Europe. But what does it take to turn that ambition into reality?

That’s the focus of our next panel, where our speakers are sharing their experience: what to prioritize, where organizations face challenges, what has worked, and what they would do differently.

A big thank you to our panelists for sharing their valuable perspectives:
Angel L. Rodríguez — CSIC
Idoia De la Iglesia — IKERLAN, Mondragon Corporation
Antonio Fuentes — RedIRIS, Red.es

When it comes to building sovereign Cloud and AI infrastructure, collaboration across the ecosystem matters.

This panel focuses on what that collaboration really needs to look like: how different technologies and providers can work together without creating new dependencies, and what needs to change to give European organizations more choice and control.

A big thank you to our speakers for bringing their experience and perspectives to the conversation:
Cristina Tello — Fsas Technologies (a Fujitsu company)
Manel Picalló — NetApp Iberia
Roberto Lázaro — SUSE

And now, it’s time to talk about Spain’s role in building a sovereign AI ecosystem in Europe!

Spain already has strong technologies across different layers of the AI stack. The challenge is bringing them together and turning individual capabilities into a functioning, integrated ecosystem.

In this panel, our speakers discuss what it takes to connect these technologies, move beyond isolated capabilities, and build an open, competitive foundation for AI in Spain and across Europe.

A big thank you to our speakers for joining this important discussion:
Julita Corbalán — Energy Aware Runtime (EAR)
Alejandro Barredo — Multiverse Computing
Alberto P. Martí — OpenNebula Systems
José Manuel Leceta — Semidynamics

We’re glad to welcome to the stage Dr. Ignacio M. Llorente, Managing Director at OpenNebula Systems.

In his keynote, Ignacio is sharing how OpenNebula can help organizations build sovereign, interoperable AI Factories and Enterprise Clouds while maintaining control of their infrastructure.

The talk goes beyond the infrastructure itself, exploring how an open platform like OpenNebula can help organizations adapt to evolving technology and regulatory requirements and build for long-term flexibility.

We’re kicking off our executive event on digital sovereignty, cloud, and AI in Madrid today!

We’re delighted to open the day with Ana Juan Ferrer, Programme Officer, DG CONNECT at the European Commission, joining us remotely to give an overview of the Cloud and AI Development Act (CADA) 🇪🇺

Her keynote focuses on the practical implications for European administrations and organizations, and how CADA fits into Europe’s broader cloud and AI strategy.

Thank you, Ana, for helping navigate these important developments 👏

🇪🇸 The event will be held in Spanish.

Can Europe achieve digital sovereignty without giving up access to the world’s best AI technologies?

And perhaps the bigger question: is true sovereignty even possible without openness?

In this new Rapporteur interview, Ignacio M. Llorente, Managing Director at OpenNebula Systems, explores:

🔹 Why sovereignty goes far beyond owning hardware
🔹 The role of open source and vendor-neutral infrastructure
🔹 How Europe can avoid new forms of technology lock-in
🔹 What it will take to turn Europe’s AI ambitions into real infrastructure

A thought-provoking read on one of the biggest questions facing Europe’s AI strategy.
