Europe's €100B Sovereignty Opportunity: How to Turn this Inflection Moment Into Your Growth Engine

Broadcom's acquisition didn't just disrupt pricing. It exposed what every EMEA Service Provider already knew. With the March 2027 deadline looming, SPs who treat this as a migration project will solve a problem. Those who treat it as a platform decision to build genuine data sovereignty and AI readiness will build a business. This session explores how to make that shift without disrupting your engineers, your customers, or your margins. It examines the architectural principles that prevent the next platform from becoming the next VMware, and the SP playbook for new revenue lines. Same operations, same workflows, same skills, while opening the door to sovereignty and private AI on day 180. Familiar today. Future-ready tomorrow. Your Cloud. Your Rules.
