Europe’s digital leaders are rethinking data sovereignty

European organisations face a new strategic reality. With NIS2, DORA and the US Cloud Act reshaping the rules of accountability and access, data sovereignty is no longer a compliance term. It has become a defining factor for resilience and competitive strength.

In this episode of Data Center Dialogues, Lieven Heuninck (CEO and managing partner, Apogado) and Lowie Schaubroeck (Managing director, Lebon.IT) explain why storing data in Europe does not guarantee sovereignty, how hidden dependencies inside cloud platforms create real exposure, and why board members now carry personal responsibility for cyber resilience decisions.

“True sovereignty requires full-stack awareness and architectural flexibility, not blind trust in hyperscalers.”

If you want to understand the forces reshaping Europe’s digital autonomy, this is a conversation worth your time.
