Recorded at BIG’s event on 7 May 2026, this exchange of insights on the urgent challenge of European digital sovereignty brought together two of its leading advocates: Marietje Schaake, International Policy Director at the Stanford University Cyber Policy Center as well as a former MEP (2009-19), and Paul Timmers, professor at KU Leuven and European University Cyprus, and a former Director at the European Commission’s DG CONNECT. How can Europe become a competitive player in the digital revolution – and avoid a dystopian scenario in which the tools of tomorrow's prosperity are outsourced to MAGA and its Silicon Valley acolytes?
