The Sovereign Stack: Software, Infrastructure and Power in a Fragmented World

Technology is no longer just a business advantage. Software, cloud infrastructure, data centres, networks and AI systems are becoming critical components of national security, economic resilience and geopolitical influence. As global competition intensifies and supply chains become more fragmented, governments and businesses are asking difficult questions: Who controls the technologies we depend on? Where is our data processed and stored? How much strategic autonomy can companies and countries realistically achieve? And what happens when software and infrastructure become instruments of geopolitical power? This executive conversation will bring together technology leaders, infrastructure providers, investors, founders and policymakers to explore the emergence of the “sovereign stack” — the software, infrastructure and strategic capabilities needed to operate in a more fragmented world. Who should attend Technology, software, cloud and digital infrastructure executives Founders and senior leaders building critical or strategic technologies Investors, policymakers and advisors focused on technology and national resilience Professionals working across cybersecurity, data centres, connectivity, AI and geopolitics Topics covered The rise of the sovereign stack: what software, infrastructure and capabilities countries and companies need to control Technology and geopolitical power: how digital infrastructure is shaping global competition Strategic autonomy vs. global interdependence: what can realistically be built or controlled locally Cloud, data and AI sovereignty: who owns, operates and governs the systems behind the digital economy The infrastructure challenge: energy, data centres, connectivity, semiconductors and the physical foundations of software Building resilience in a fragmented world: how organisations can manage dependencies, risks and strategic exposure What you will take away A clearer understanding of how geopolitics is reshaping technology and infrastructure Insight into the strategic importance of software, cloud, data and AI A framework for thinking about sovereignty, resilience and dependency New perspectives from leaders working across technology, infrastructure, investment and policy Opportunities to connect with people shaping the future of the digital economy Agenda 10:30 – 11:00 AM Registration & Networking11:00 – 11:10 PM Welcome Remarks11:10 – 12:10 PM Main Conversation12:10 – 12:20 PM Audience Q&A12:20 – 2:00 PM Networking H.E.
