AmCham Slovakia

Join us for an engaging business breakfast where we delve into the crucial topics of Data Sovereignty and Digital ID. With the enforcement of EU regulations like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the upcoming European Data Act, the importance of maintaining control over data has never been greater. Sovereign clouds are emerging as a vital solution, enabling organizations to store and manage data within national borders, ensuring compliance, and enhancing security. This is particularly significant for large corporations handling vast amounts of sensitive information, as well as small businesses striving to build customer trust and protect their data. 

We’ll also explore the transformative power of digital IDs. Learn from Germany’s best practices on how robust digital IDs can streamline cross-border trade within the EU by providing a secure, interoperable identity while supporting the Digital Single Market strategy. Digital IDs not only improve user experience but also enable seamless and secure transactions across member states.

This event will provide insights into the strategic importance of these topics and their impact on businesses of all sizes. Digital identity walks hand in hand with Data & Technology Sovereignty in the context of EU Digitalization. By addressing these challenges, we can help shape a secure and compliant digital future for everyone.
