As Europe faces increasing concerns over data privacy, vendor lock-in, and foreign dependencies in cloud infrastructure, now is the time to discuss digital transformation. With the Nextcloud Summit on June 5th in Munich, Germany, Nextcloud provides policymakers and the public sector with the opportunity to explore digital sovereignty with key experts and industry leaders. Building secure, sovereign, and transparent digital environments will be at the heart of this meet-up, which will also feature workshops, real-life examples, and unique networking opportunities.
Digital transformation: real-world examples of public sector success stories
Featuring internationally recognized speakers from a variety of sectors, the Summit will provide practical, in-depth perspectives on public sector digital transformation. Attendees will gain actionable insights from:
