DESCRIPTION:Description:\nIn this talk\, Stephan Ilaender defines digital s
	overeignty not just as a security measure\, but as a critical competitive 
	advantage. By strictly avoiding vendor lock-in through open-source standar
	ds (e.g.\, Kubernetes\, openDesk\, openCode)\, STACKIT ensures that Europe
	an companies remain agile and independent of non-European providers. This 
	independence creates a unique market position: It protects against geopoli
	tical risks - such as the U.S. Cloud Act or digital tariffs - while ensuri
	ng operational continuity and data supremacy. For customers\, this means t
	he freedom to migrate workloads and scale without being tied to proprietar
	y ecosystems.\n--------------------------------\n\nSpeaker:\n- Stephan Ila
