Control, trust and resilience in an era of geopolitical and regulatory shifts

CIONET invites you to a private dinner with a select group of enterprise CIOs and senior infrastructure leaders in Zurich – part of a multi-country dialogue series with IT executives across Europe.

This strategic dialogue is designed for digital leaders to share insights on one of the most pressing challenges facing today's leaders:

How can organisations build true digital sovereignty in the face of geopolitical uncertainty, regulatory pressure, and growing technological dependencies? 

Our goal is a strategic, peer-level dialogue for CIOs, Heads of Infrastructure, and Operations leaders who are working to embed control and resilience into their IT environments. The discussion starts with network architecture, evolves through operational governance, and lands in the reality of enterprise-wide execution.

Key Topics for Discussion:

Sovereignty starts in the network
Digital sovereignty isn’t just about data policy or compliance – it’s rooted in infrastructure. The network defines what can be controlled, audited, and secured.


Enforcing Data Sovereignty and Operational Control
As regulatory pressure intensifies, CIOs must ensure that sovereignty is not just declared – but enforced in practice. That means protecting sensitive data in motion, applying residency rules, and ensuring consistent access governance.


Designing the Sovereign-Ready Infrastructure:
Building an agile and scalable architecture to handle the complexity of sovereign flows. This includes the need for programmability so that business intent can be acted upon by the network and segmentation based on geo or sector considerations.
