Webinar: AI, quantum, resilience and European technological sovereignty

AI, quantum, resilience and European technological sovereignty – what should boards be paying attention to now?

Technology is no longer simply an operational or innovation agenda. It is increasingly a matter of strategic positioning, resilience, dependency and long-term competitiveness.

AI is already reshaping business models and decision-making. Quantum computing is moving closer to strategic relevance. At the same time, geopolitical tensions and critical technological dependencies are raising new questions about resilience and Europe’s ability to retain strategic autonomy

This webinar brings together four perspectives on the developments that are moving rapidly onto the board agenda.

We will explore:

  • AI and quantum as strategic opportunities and risks
  • Critical technological dependencies and organisational resilience
  • European technological and digital sovereignty
  • The board’s role in navigating uncertainty, investment and long-term competitiveness

Short keynote contributions will set the scene, followed by a focused panel discussion around one central question:

What do boards need to understand, what questions should they be asking, and where do they need to act now?

Relevant if you are:

  • Preparing for your first board role
  • Already serving on a board and seeking further professionalisation
  • Looking to expand your network within the board community
