This initiative allows 32 allies to collaborate, innovate, and coordinate securely, without sacrificing sovereignty, marking a significant shift from merely protecting data to actively utilizing it across borders. The advancement of sovereign infrastructure for AI and analytics facilitates secure data use, enhancing intelligence sharing and mission-critical decision-making. As cloud, AI, and quantum computing emerge as critical security domains, the infrastructure choices made today will shape the future of defense readiness and allied competitiveness. A live discussion featuring experts, including former military and cybersecurity leaders, will explore the implications of this shift, offering insights into secure data collaboration and the role of digital sovereignty in modern defense strategies.
