The panel session “Digital Sovereignty and National Cybersecurity” will bring together representatives of government institutions, national cybersecurity centers, public policy experts, and institutional stakeholders to discuss strategic issues of digital sovereignty, national cybersecurity, regulatory development, protection of critical infrastructure, cyber resilience, digital forensics, and secure deployment of artificial intelligence.

In the era of artificial intelligence, global digital platforms, cross-border data flows, cloud technologies, and emerging cyber threats, digital sovereignty has become one of the key priorities for states. It is no longer limited to data protection or technical cybersecurity measures. It includes the ability of a country to protect its critical digital infrastructure, ensure trusted digital transformation, develop national cyber capabilities, regulate AI systems, preserve control over strategic data, and build resilient digital ecosystems.

The panel will focus on how governments and national cybersecurity institutions can jointly respond to new technological risks, develop compatible regulatory and methodological approaches, strengthen cyber resilience, and support secure, trusted, and responsible digital development at national and regional levels.

The panel session “AI, Digital Transformation and Trusted Business Ecosystems” will bring together representatives of business associations, AI companies, technology platforms, defense technologies, and digital transformation leaders to discuss how artificial intelligence and trusted digital technologies are transforming business, public services, industry, and international cooperation.

In the era of artificial intelligence, platform-based economies, cloud technologies, data-driven services, and increasing digital dependence, businesses are becoming key actors in building secure and trusted digital ecosystems. The development of AI and digital platforms creates new opportunities for innovation, economic growth, smart services, and industrial transformation. At the same time, it raises important questions related to digital trust, data governance, technological sovereignty, responsible AI, and cooperation between business, government, and academia.

The panel will focus on the role of industry in secure digital transformation, responsible AI adoption, trusted technology development, business resilience, public-private cooperation, and the creation of sustainable digital ecosystems.
