Last week, we were on site at VivaTech in Paris for the event's 10th anniversary, one of Europe's most dynamic gatherings for technology and innovation. As partners of the Sovereignty Stage, we hosted six sessions bringing together CEOs, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders around one shared ambition: moving European Sovereignty from debate to action. 🔹 Sovereignty is the new business continuity With Christel Heydemann (CEO, Orange) and Stéphane Pallez (Chairwoman and CEO, FDJ UNITED) 🔹 Big American tech meets European sovereignty champion With Kristell Klosowski (Chief of Staff, Google) and Benjamin Amalric (Chief of Staff, Mediawan) 🔹 The cost of control: sovereignty in business decisions With Stéphane Dedeyan (Chairman of the Executive Board, La Banque Postale), Valérie Benvenuto (CEO, Open), Sébastien FABRE (CEO, Safran.AI (ex Preligens)) and Esther Finidori (Chief Sustainability Officer, Schneider Electric) 🔹 Building sovereign scale in Europe With Frédéric Mazzella (Founder, BlaBlaCar) and Vincent LucIAni (Cofounder and Executive Chairman, Artefact) 🔹 AI sovereignty: Europe's fight for the full stack With Octave Klaba (Founder and CEO, OVHcloud) and Clara Chappaz (Ambassador for Digital Affairs and Artificial Intelligence) 🔹 Arming and funding Europe: the sovereignty wake up call With Eric Béranger (CEO, MBDA) and Stephane Boujnah (CEO and Chairman, Euronext) As our Partner Marie Lê de Narp captured it well: "We are at a tipping point, for sovereignty and for AI adoption. These two topics are inseparable."  📽️ Watch the full insights from our Partners in this video. 💾 Save this insights for later.
